Short notice – but please join us this Sunday for a small celebratory event to mark the government announcement that it will be doubling spending on active travel. We will be gathering outside the SNP conference at the SEC Centre at 3pm for a celebratory ringing of bike bells, and presenting the transport minister Humza Yousaf with a thank-you slice of “rocky road” cake, in recognition of the fact that investment in better infrastructure for cycling and walking is set to be doubled from £40m to £80m per year.
Although this is by no means the end of our campaigning journey, this year’s Programme for Government marked an important milestone on the road to an active Scotland and we wish to positively welcome it.
Join us if you can, with your family, and feel free to wear whatever campaign-group t-shirt, hoody or hat you belong to, to mark the diversity of our collaborative campaign, and to celebrate the many different organisations that have contributed towards this moment.
