We are working with Sustrans, a charity that looks after the national cycling network, to identify a potential long term strategic cycling network across the county.
This network would aim to connect people and places across the county with safe and accessible routes for everyone. A better connected cycling network across Gloucestershire would enable more people to get on their bikes and switch to an active mode of transport.
Investment has already been made into cycling in Gloucestershire, with a 26-mile cycle spine being built connecting Bishop’s Cleeve and Stroud via Cheltenham and Gloucester.
In addition to this, we have sponsored both the 2022 Women’s Tour and Tour of Britain to bring two world-class cycling races to the county.
Your views will help form the long-term ambitions for cycling in the county. Whether you are a keen cyclist or a family who occasionally cycle for leisure, we want to better understand the barriers preventing you from getting on your bikes.
To give your views, you can visit one of the following workshops:
- Moreton-in-Marsh – 3pm-7pm, Tuesday, 5 July, Redesdale Hall, High Street, Moreton-in-Marsh, GL56 0BA
- Dursley – 3pm-7pm, Wednesday, 6 July, The Dursley Community Centre, Rednock Drive, Dursley, GL11 4BX

- Newent – 3pm-7pm, Tuesday, 12 July, Newent Memorial Hall, 209 Bury Lane, Newent, GL18 1PT
An online survey will also be available soon if you are unable to attend the workshops.
