Chesterfield Cycle Campaign

Chesterfield Cycle Campaign aims to increase the cycle infrastructure in and around the town and show that cycling is a viable and sustainable form of local transport.

These aims are enshrined in both the Local Transport Plan and Planning Policy Guidance document 13 which relates to transport. The Campaign is an official consultee for Chesterfield Borough Councils Planning Department.  As such we are able to offer advice an how cycling measures can be incorporated into developments. We are also consulted by Derbyshire County Councils Road department to comment on proposed road enhancement schemes.

The Campaign's business and ideas are discussed at our monthly meetings. The 'Publications' page has the agenda and minutes available. See the events page for meeting dates.

Members of the committee regularly meet representatives of Borough and County councils at liaison meetings.

Our goal is to have a comprehensive network of good quality cycle routes linked together to enable local jouneys to be easily undertaken by bike.

Following many years of lobbying the Councils to produce a cycle map to no avail the Campaign has published its own which is now on its second edition.
