Your Feedback on Improving Cycle Security

29/1/2021

Cambridgeshire County Council is looking at ways to improve the ever-increasing problem with cycle crime, whilst encouraging more employees to cycle to work. We are asking for feedback on a proposed employer grant scheme (match-funded). The scheme aims to minimise the number of bikes being stolen from those commuting to work and to improve cycle storage/security for those cautious of using/purchasing e-bikes for this purpose.

To help us shape this grant scheme, we would be grateful if you could fill out this feedback form. We can use this information to develop a scheme that suits the needs of employers and their employees.
