Rossendale Cycling summit 2024 – Have your say “Interested in cycling, active travel and campaigning for a better Rossendale? Join us for a day exploring how to make Rossendale a safer place for anyone to cycle, walk and wheel; a Rossendale that’s greener, cleaner and healthier” We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting a cycling summit on Tuesday 27th February 2024 to discuss, share ideas and create a plan for cycling in Rossendale. The focus of the summit will be “greener, cleaner and healthier” by using cycling and active travel to embed into our daily lives. In attendance will be Cycling UK and British Cycling which is a real commitment to Rossendale and our cycling community. The summit will have a series of workshops focussed on the following: How do we build and increase active travel into our everyday lives? Marketing and communications is key to any campaign to engage more people, what can we do to ensure we are getting our message out about cycling? Infrastructure is key; discuss! 1) Cycling infrastructure ie on the road / off-road – connecting places and 2) cycling facilities such as pump tracks etc. How will cycling contribute to the physical activity strategy for Rossendale? Understanding our Community – what exists? For further details of the summit and to book your place please email natalieatkinson@rossendalebc.gov.uk
