We are offering a series of free events this summer to promote active travel as part of the \u2018Around Your Way\u2019 project.<\/p>\n
Events include free nature walks, \u2018Dr Bike\u2019 cycle maintenance clinics, cycle leisure rides and cycle training.<\/p>\n
The project works with residents moving to new developments in South Gloucestershire to help people get to know their neighbourhood and explore using active, sustainable transport.<\/p>\n
South Gloucestershire Council\u2019s Cabinet Member for Communities and Tourism, Cllr Paul Hughes, said:\u00a0\u201cThe \u2018Around Your Way\u2019 project is a fantastic initiative to encourage more people to start using more active and sustainable methods of transport. I encourage everyone to go along to the events – which run through the summer – as they promise to be great fun for all of the family.\u201d<\/p>\n
The funding is received from the Department of Transport under the \u2018Access West Fund\u2019, a three-year central government-funded scheme to promote sustainable transport in the West of England.<\/p>\n
