A meeting with the Council!



Since our trip on the weekend things are really hotting up, Ben has worked his magic and secured a meeting with loads of the top dogs at the Council- Amanda Barton Team Leader Integrated Transport, Clive Hall (Highways and Transportation Central Area Manager), and hopefully Cynthia Spaull (City Centre Manager).


These are the people we need to speak to, they can give us answers and also be part of the roll out of the progamme. The weekend opened our eyes and it could be that we are looking at something much bigger than we first imagined, an intergrated approach to sustainable travel, cargo bikes, bikes to move people, all sorts of things, the meeting is on Friday so Ben and I are meeting tonight to dicuss our approach. Ben will be taking a back seat on this one due to some work commitments.


In other news the lovely people from Howies contacted us yesterday, they are very busy but haven't forgotten about us!:


"Hello Will,
