This event has been reschedule to allow more people to be involved. Last year we surveyed the people who receive this newsletter and you told us you'd like to know more about community-led sustainable transport projects. This event will allow you to hear from people involved in several local projects and discuss your own ideas without leaving the comfort of your own home!

Confirmed contributors include:

  • Alastair Meikle of Chesterfield Cycle Campaign (CCC). CCC promotes cycle use in Chesterfield for both leisure and utility journeys.  By campaigning for a comprehensive network, they aim to improve conditions for cyclists so that cycling becomes a safer and more attractive option than car travel for local journeys. Alastair is also involved in delivering Bikeability training at 90 local schools and Inclusive Pedals, a cycling project for those who can’t ride a standard bike because of disability or age. 
  • Roland Strube of Hayfield Sustainable Transport (HSTL). HSTL was set up in March 2013 and has been conducting a pilot transport project to develop new transport provision based on a minibus version of a car club. The success of the pilot has lead to HSTL being involved in an EU project to develop Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in 2017. 
  • John Shoesmith of Transition Belper. John is a member of Transition Belper’s Transport Group which has undertaken several projects including measuring levels of local air pollution, contributing to a Neighbourhood Plan, producing a report on cycling and local cycling maps, and creating cartoons depicting what life in Belper might be like in 2050 if we tackle environmental problems.
  • Hugh McClintock of Pedals. Pedals is a Nottingham-based community organisations which encourages more people to use bikes and campaigns for safer and more attractive conditions for cyclists in the Nottingham area. It has been running since 1979 and has been instrumental in establishing one of the largest urban cycling networks in the UK.

There will also be the opportunity to discuss your own ideas for projects and share ideas and knowledge with other attendees.
