Cycle Saturation Campaign

Southwark has eight community councils, Dulwich will receive £316,000, Peckham £216,000 and Rotherhithe £296,000. Southwark cyclists have successfully campaigned for £20k of the Rotherhithe fund to be spent by Southwark Cyclists on a saturation bike project at a local school.

If you'd like to get involved, or are a parent interested in the project please read on. We plan to keep these pages updated with the latest news, and resources.

The project team is Ashu Chowdhry (Chair), Barry Mason, Jacqueline Saunders, Che Sutherland, Guy Bardoe and Ann Warren.

April 2005 - Bicycle Shed - any ideas for funding?

While the core of the project is well funded and being run smoothly bu CTUK, we do need help in ensuring that the children have a bicycle shed to match the quality of the training that they will receive. Ideally, we would like to install a state of the art shed like the wonderful cages at Barnes Wetlands Centre, which cost about £5,000. Any suggestions for sources of funding for this would be very welcome.
