Local Lib Dem leader Cllr Chris Millington has thrown his weight behind an application for Harlow to become a specialist cycling town. The bid would mean that Harlow would become one of ten new 'Cycling Demonstration Towns', with local initiatives including cycle routes and training in cycling safety. Chris says:

"This looks to be an excellent scheme that fits in well with Harlow Council's commitment to provide first class sports and leisure opportunities for local residents. Cycling is an increasingly important part of the town's transport infrastructure and something we are keen to promote."
