Epping Forest Cycling Strategy SEF 25/20

Report of the Director of Open Spaces.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Director of Open Spaces on the Epping Forest Cycling Strategy. The Director of Open Spaces introduced the report and invited the Committee to email any further questions which, due to the length of the Committee’s Agenda, could not be considered on the 21st of October. The Committee suggested a number of possible cycle routes to Officers for further consideration.

 

It was requested that further consideration be given to the bicycle parking and safety concerns including the relationship between bicycles and horse riders sharing the roads. The Committee noted the changes to the Highway Code with relation to the horse riders and bicycles. In relation to this it was suggested that the Horse Riding Fee be reviewed. The Director of Open Spaces confirmed that this review would be undertaken.

 

Responding to a query from a Committee member the Director of Open Spaces informed that the report would not be ready for inclusion in the November Epping Forest & Commons Committee and would be targeting January for the report to be considered by the Grand Committee. Further to this it was confirmed that further consultation would be undertaken.

 

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
