19 CYCLING IN SIDMOUTH

19.1 Cyclists Welcome
A new UK wide scheme had been introduced. This was developed with expert advice and support from the Countryside Agency and the Youth Hostel Association and would give confidence to cyclists that they were booking quality accommodation that met their particular needs.
RESOLVED: That the following actions be carried out:
1) Councillor Pollentine to contact Quality in Tourism to enquire what criteria are needed for accommodation providers to display the Cyclists Welcome logo.
2) James Sharp to circulate to his members to enquire how many can meet the criteria and would wish to be part of the scheme.
3) Other accommodation providers who are not members of the Sidmouth & Hospitality Assoc. be emailed to enquire how many can meet the criteria and would wish to be part of the scheme.
4) The Sidmouth Information Centre Manager to consider how to make Sidmouth a ‘Cyclists Welcome’ town and how best to implement the scheme.

19.2 Cycle West
The Cycle West project was a cross-border cycle network between Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Brittany and Normandy. The European Union, as well as 17 partners of the project, had invested more than 8 million Euros in developing three routes with over 1,000kms of safe and enjoyable cycling across international frontiers.
Further information could be found at www.cycle-west.com
RESOLVED: That this project be noted and welcomed.




Cyclists Welcome



Cyclists Welcome establishments are cyclist-friendly, many of them recommended by CTC members. Listings include details of a variety of accommodation types, cafes and cycle hire operators.

No matter where you may have stayed or perhaps stopped for refreshments, if the establishment concerned is cycle friendly we’d love to hear about it. If you would like to recommend an establishment for inclusion within the Cyclists Welcome database, please suggest it using the link below:
