Chester Cycling Campaign

Chester Cycling Campaign is fighting for a better, greener city for all. Chester is choking with traffic jams and pollution from cars, yet one in four of these car journeys is less than two miles. Cycling is cheap, fast, and clean. It is one part of the solution to these problems. Chester Cycling Campaign is working with local councils to get serious about encouraging cycling in Chester.

The Campaign's overall aims are to fight for:

  • 100 kms of designated cycle routes
  • 20 mph speed limits
  • Safe routes to schools
  • Better city centre access for cyclists
  • Bike contra-flows in one-way streets
  • Bike parking in every shopping area
  • Free carriage of bikes on trains

Latest News : June 2008: Chester is to receive £2.4 million funding for cycling initiatives. Cheshire County and Chester City councils made a joint bid for money for Cycling Demonstration Town status and was one of only 10 picked from 76 applications nationwide.
