TACC again increased its activities last year. We are pushing for much better conditions to enable more people to cycle. Most of our day-to-day costs have been funded from our own pockets but we really need to establish and retain a campaign fund.
We are hoping that you will support us via our fund raising platform. Even if you can only give a couple of quid, it will really help. Thank you!
Villagers in Somerset want a safe cycling route for local schools so badly that they're trying to raise £50,000 themselves to make it happen.
How can projects like these be enabled? Any thoughts @Chris_Boardman
Active travel the #Somerset way on the Steam Coast Trail.
I passed these people as I was struggling in the other direction with my bike on my way to work. They kindly allowed me to use this video to make the point that this is not really reasonable as an #activetravel route.
Taunton Area Cycling Campaign is a voluntary group run by local residents with over 800 members. Our aim is safer, better and more cycling in the Taunton Area. We are campaigning on a number of key areas:
integration into major new developments such as the North Taunton Development, Coal Orchard and Firepool;
improving design standards so that road and cycling infrastructure is designed in a way that it more user friendly;
seeking more investment, in the short term through Somerset Council’s Small Improvement Scheme programme. We are seeking to work with the local authorities for a major scheme funding bid, in line with Taunton Garden Town aspirations;
promotion and updating the Taunton cycling and walking map.
We believe that, if you cycle in Taunton, you help create a BETTER environment, save time by making QUICKER journeys and you will be FITTER.
