7. Group Work
Does the plan cover the key themes and delivery structures to
ensure improvements for cycling – if not what’s missing?
What areas will generate the biggest improvements and
therefore what would you prioritise as a means to generate
increased cycle usage (Media, Staff Training, Workplace
Initiatives, Environmental Change/Legislation, School
Travel Initiatives, etc?
Highlight a case study (ies) of work that successfully bring
cycling, the environment and the education, NHS/care or
workplace setting together that would merit wider roll-out.
