Creating Networks!
On 26 April, cycle campaign and Active travel groups from across Kent are coming together at Sessions House, Maidstone to share their experiences of campaigning for better cycling facilities and promoting the many benefits of cycling to individuals, communities, businesses and the county.
The event, Creating Networks!, will feature speakers and workshops from Kent County Council, The University of Kent, Sustrans - the National Cycle network charity, and local cycling groups.
There are many cycle campaign and bicycle user groups (BUG) in Kent. Some, such as Spokes cover several districts while others concentrate on cycling in a town or smaller area. Whatever the size or type of group, they all engage with councils and councillors, their communities and others to improve conditions for cyclists and make it easier for people to cycle for work or leisure or everyday activities.
Sharing knowledge, expertise and skills will enable all groups to work more effectively and, hopefully, create a county-wide forum for discussing cycling matters and working with local councils to make cycling an easy and popular transport choice for the county's residents, including children and young people.
If you know of a cycle campaign group or BUG which would like to send one or more representatives to Creating Networks!, please contact the event organiser, Rachael Carley (rachaelcarley1@gmail.com).
