Campaigning

The Campaign's primary focus is to work for a better cycling environment in and around the Cambridge area, in order both to increase the amount of cycling and to make it safer and more pleasurable. Much of this work is carried out by the Committee and other volunteers. The following indicates the variety of areas in which we work.

Newsletters Our newsletters contain much information on our campaigning activity. You can also keep track of topics using our newsletter threads.
Campaigning letters and consultation responses The Campaign writes many letters, initiating ideas and responding to a large number of consultations from the local Councils.
Position papers These papers contain key statements of policy and our thoughts on the design of facilities. In particular our Manifesto sets out principles of providing for cyclists and Cycling 2020 looks at how we think cycling in the area should develop over the next few years.
New routes A selection of cycle routes we would like to see built.
Current issues Current issues of particular note are linked from the campaigning issues section as well as being featured on the front page.
Active subgroups Some of the Campaign's strategic planning and business is conducted by subgroups. These work on a specific task or subject, often with a particular deadline, and then report back to the next monthly meeting.
Press releases A selection of press releases we have issued.
Resources We also have a collection of reference and other resources for use by campaigners, both locally and nationally. In particular our Cycle Parking Guide advises on how to do cycle parking correctly and Cycling In New Developments suggests possibilities for developers starting with a clean sheet.
Election responses Candidates' views on cycling & walking issues, in response to surveys we have sent them for public elections.
Videos Some videos, many from the early days of the Campaign.
