The meeting with the district council on Wednesday 31st March 2010 went ok. I had a chat with Steve McCue and one of his colleagues (Richardson?) for twenty minutes or so.
Discussion re: the 'hole' in the 52 in central Coalville
NWLDC is committed to the "Coalville Vision" plan, which would see developments along several parts of the proposed NCN52 route through Coalville. NWLDC will not put in a cycling facility and then have to withdraw it a few years later. Consequentially, NWLDC do not envisage completing the route until they have made progress with the Coalville Vision plan. Steve McCue to check with the Planning team and ask if the NCN52 is integrated within the Coalville cyclcing plan and what cycling routes they plan to develop in the Coalville area.
My suggestion to put up plastic boxes containing maps of the town centre was supported. Leicestershire Orienteering club has put some similar boxes up in Snibston Discovery Park and they are quite good.
I agreed to have a look at boxes for these and then to ask Sustran to clear it as an expense. I have also had a look for a better map and the map in the middle of the new 'Coalville Town guide' is very good- it just needs one of two streets tacking onto the white space on the left. I'll contact NWLDC and ask them to help me with this.
Cycling promotion in NWLDC
NWLDC can arrange promotion for led rides quite easily. They are looking at led rides around the following weeks:
National Family Week 31st May-6th June
National Bike Week 19-27 June 2010
Their led rides are normally organised by the CTC. It was suggested that we should co-ordinate our efforts with them.
The big event in Coalville for Family Week is a picnic at Snibston Discovery Park on Monday 31 May 2010 12:00 - 15:00. This might be a good place for us to have a stall or hand out some leaflets.
