  2. Active Travel Bill (Wales)Fri, 29 Mar 2013 12:45:52 EST
    The Active Travel (Wales) Bill was laid in the National Assembly for Wales on the 18 February 2013. Its great to see such huge focus on walking and cycling,and surely this helps provide focus for our local campaigns to get cycling recognised and funded as a viable option for shorter journeys? Cycle Seahaven (and our other campaign partners) will be using this Bill as a template of what can be done at national level to promote cycling for everyone. More...

Key campaigns for the Club at the present time are:

• Creation of a cycle path down Exceat Hill towards Friston Forest

• Continuation of the cycle path at Bishopstone railway bridge

• Improved cycle paths in the National Park

• A safe route down the Ouse Valley from Lewes to Newhaven

OUSE VALLEY CYCLE NETWORK - BID FOR FUNDS

Ouse Valley Cycle Network (OVCN) have submitted a request to East Sussex County Council (ESCC) to be included in the bid for Local Sustainable Transport Funds (LSTF).

OVCN aim to set up a shared walking and cycling route from Lewes to Newhaven. This will mainly follow the banks of the Ouse –a flat and picturesque route that will connect our County Town to our International Seaport. The lack of a safe route along the C7 forces most people into cars. OVCN see this new route as a major step forward for recreation (picnics,family rides,sightseeing) and utility (work,shops,doctors,schools) cycling and walking.

ESCC have two bids in place,which OVCN consider to be a perfect fit:

• East  Sussex Coastal Towns –Sustainable access,delivering growth and cutting  carbon

• Accessing the South Downs in East Sussex

We will let you know if our bid is successful.

Details of OVCN can be downloaded here

OVCN have a website here

The bid is available for download here
