Yesterday - 28th Feb 2017, I decided to road test the final version of the "Give me 1.5m" logo which is now on my yellow showerproof top. With Heddlu Dyfed Powys and CCF (us) lettering above and below the silver/blue chequered strip it really looks the business! Travelling up to Cross Hands on the A road between 4pm and 5pm meant loads of traffic which I have to admit, behaved very well and gave me more space. A few got close but only after slowing down!! Looking forward to rolling this out with Dyfed Powys Police over the next few months and will keep you posted.
As a cycling campaign group most would think we would welcome any kind of tarmac dedicated for cyclists! Unfortunately our County Council continue to frustrate our aims and continue to build cycle paths without any evidence that they would get used and ignore the Llanelli cyclists who are regularly forced onto the pavements of Station Road, Gelli Onn, Pemberton and Trostre shopping areas. Decent cycle paths in these areas would draw more people into considering and taking up Active Travel as part of their everyday lives.
Carmarthenshire Cycle Forum Meeting with Carmarthenshire Transport Strategy and Infrastructure Team
We had a very positive meeting with Simon Charles and members of his team on Thursday 23rd July to discuss the cycling provision and infrastructure currently being considered by the council. We were also joined by David Thorpe from Transition Towns Towy (he is also a CCF Member) The first part of the meeting dealt with the issue of the lack of safe cycling access to the new secondary school at Ffairfach, Llandeilo.
All, we really need to get behind this - it doesn't matter if you are from Llandeil or Llansaint, we are all people on bikes and this is what the forum is for!
