It is part of a towns deal
A new cycling network has been launched in a Nottinghamshire town, which hopes to make cycling easier for residents. The Stapleford-based network, which also includes a cycle hub and a proficiency track at Ilkeston Road Recreation Ground, was launched on Monday, July 3, with guests including Olympic gold medal winner Chris Boardman MBE.
Local school children and young people also attended the event at the mini track, which has been open to the public since April. Children from St John's Church of England school got the chance to try out the new cycle training track and shared their "excitement" to get out on the roads in the future.
"It's really important that it starts as fun, and they can do something that they enjoy. and then they send that territory out into the local streets and into the local roads and start to use it to get to local shops and schools and friends' houses - so this is the place where a different way of transport starts."
