Salford is changing the way it engages with the public around cycling and walking in order to attract more residents to get involved and help tackle key issues in the borough such as school road safety.
The Salford Walking and Cycling Forum is being launched on Tuesday 13th November, with an open invitation to anyone to come along and have their say on the key issues and help form plans to solve them.
The new forum replaces the Salford Cycle Forum, which was held quarterly and provided a place for residents to comment on cycle policy and proposals, but did not include walkers or pedestrian issues.
The forum will be held at 6-8pm, Tuesday 13th November.
Sacred Trinity Church, Chapel Street, Salford, M3 5DW
Items for the agenda are likely to include:-
An overview of the Beelines approach from its chief advisor Brian Deegan
An update on plans to form an ‘Active Travel Alliance’ in Greater Manchester
