The date of the next one may be in the Diary.
Councillor Bruce Lines has chaired these meetings with enthusiasm for the past two years. It is not known yet whether he will be chairing future CAG meetings.
The suggestion of signing many of the advisory cycle routes was discussed. Being a rather large task, it was decided the best approach would be to set up a subgroup where the Council and Push Bikes could work together to identify key routes to prioritise for signage and how to mark less significant routes without incurring great expense or cluttering the streets with masses of unpopular signage.
