Uttlesford District Council has launched three surveys asking about how people travel around Great Dunmow, Saffron Walden and the Stansted and Elsenham areas.
As a 'thank you' for taking part, the council is offering a chance to win a £50 voucher to spend at a local retailer, hospitality or tourism venue in Uttlesford.
The council is keen to know if people use the on-street e-bike hire scheme in Saffron Walden and what could be done do to improve it, including extending it to the surrounding villages. The scheme is run by App-Bike.
Give your feedback on whether you would like to see a local bike scheme in Great Dunmow and, if so, what it might include.
