Meeting regarding cyclists in pedestrian areas
Thursday 2nd September from 6.00pm until 8.00pm.
You may or may not be aware that there has been a pilot scheme in Woking town centre since April 2009. This scheme has allowed cyclists to ride their bikes in what are usually considered as pedestrian areas. This has been a concern to Surrey Disabled People’s Partnership (Formerly NWSADP) and other groups. They strongly feel that introducing Shared Use areas is putting disabled pedestrians and others at risk and making town centres a No Go area for disabled people.
Surrey County Council’s Local Committee have arranged an additional meeting to consider if this pilot scheme should be made permanent, on Thursday 2nd September from 6.00pm until 8.00pm. This meeting will be held in the Council Chamber of the Woking Borough Council Civic Offices.
They would like to encourage as many disabled people, carers as well as family and friends to attend this meeting to demonstrate to Councilors that introducing Shared Use areas is not safe and not inclusive. This is not just a Woking issue and if this pilot scheme is allowed to become permanent in Woking, the potential for similar schemes across Surrey is high
