We submitted detailed response to the draft cycling strategy from Bristol Council on 18th Aug 2014. Overall we consider this to be a large step in the right direction, making some very clear commitments. However other areas are not so clear. We compared the draft strategy with our cycling manifesto to identify gaps. The table below compares the two:
RGB rating | Key pro | Key con | |
Target | 20% work/school | 20% ambition is good | Overall missing: leisure missing |
Plan | Detail needed | Network is in strategy | Very top level (at present) |
Budget | £16 a head | Sustained commitment | May fall in real terms |
Team | To follow? | Implicit expectation? | Not mentioned |
Leader | To follow? | No clear ‘advocate’ role | Delivery leader needed |
