Dover Cycle forum 8th June report

Very Useful meeting attended by a dozen or so people chaired by Ian Killbery
including Cllrs Bond, Carter and Frost - Sue Delling and Sarah Gleave there from
DWI.

Update on the progress of Kent's Local Sustainable transport Bid and on progress on the River Dour Greenway and need for updating of Dover Cycling Plan.

Special Guest Speaker Steve Fawke chair of Spokes, and Speaker for Sustrans, on how these organisations work to combat car culture - the successes we've had in Britain with rural shared use paths and the need for more to be done on urban
shared use paths.

Huge number of deaths due to car pollution and car accidents need for lower 20mph speed limits to be worked towards through a combination of lobbying for national legislation and public awareness.

Animated discussion enjoyed by all.

Next meeting tues 13 sept @ 7.30, Deal

Thanks to Sarah for report
