The Society is delighted to be able to announce that The Secretary of State has now confirmed the cycle track order for the Churchfields town paths, following the public inquiry held in September. This means that we will be able to proceed with our ‘Share with Care’ campaign to promote safe and considerate use of the paths, whether you are on foot or on wheels. Surrey County Council will be instructing their contractors to install the signs that we designed and it’s expected this will happen in the next few weeks.
By a fortunate coincidence, the Department of Transport has just introduced a new version of the Highway Code that is intended to provide more protection to vulnerable people. They are running a campaign to promote this, starting on February 14th. If you aren’t already familiar with these changes, you can find a good summary here.
