"Bristol named first cycling city
Bristol has become England's first "cycling city" in a £100m government scheme aimed at encouraging cycling. The city intends to double the number of cyclists over the next three years with a series of innovations. Sharing the funding will be York, Stoke, Blackpool, Cambridge, Chester, Colchester, Leighton Buzzard, Southend, Shrewsbury, Southport and Woking."
Just so long as Beds County Council planners and the local developers take this as a green light to build the approximately six thousand houses around my home town of Leighton Buzzard. Might sound daft, but this is the sort of justification they've been looking for.
