Encouraging more cycle access to the high street is very welcome.Reduce short car journeys into the town centre by providing an alternative by means of secure cycle parking and a welcoming spirit to cyclists will help reduce unnecessary traffic and congestion into the town. Secure cycle parking is a huge issue, and by secure not just a metal stand that requires a lock but somewhere you know you can leave and lock your bike, even if a small charge was applicable. Additional safe cycle paths/shared space required into the town centre and/or allocated along the high street.
