A NEW cycling strategy for Calderdale, which looks at ways to encourage cycling as a way of travelling around the borough, is to be discussed next week.

If approved, the strategy would also create a platform to develop existing and new routes to improve cycling connectivity through the Calder Valley.

A proposed Calderdale Cycle Network includes hubs in the main towns, and spokes linking to key attractions and existing cycleways.

It will be discussed at Calderdale Council’s cabinet meeting on Monday at Halifax Town Hall from 6pm.
