On a recent ride up The Mere Way I noticed that the wooden pillar had been removed and that cars were being driven on the route .

Recent roadworks have left the cycle lane entering Cambridge in an unusable state. There are large bumps across the width of the cycle lane which makes cycling along it dangerous. Needs to be fixed asap.

Starter; instructions for who to report overhanging or overgrown vegetation which is obstructing a cycle or footpath.  Place for people to discuss specific examples as they seem to currently be spread out all over Cyclescape so hard to find.

A project from Greater Cambridge Shared Planning to inform urban design.

Cambridge City Council has launched its Environmental Improvement Programme (EIP) for 2024, which gives residents the opportunity to identify where they would like the council to fund small-scale improvements to the city’s streets and open spaces.

Cambridge residents are invited to put forward their ideas for the EIP through the council's online consultation platform. A total of £170,000 is available to be allocated to the proposed projects – up to £5,000 is available for local projects unless they are strongly supported in which case up to £10,000 could be made available. Up to £20,000 is available for projects that will enhance larger areas of the city.

It is important that we engage with the candidates at each election, scrutinise their views, and press for commitments to active travel and sustainable transport.

I have noticed that especially since the congestion charge there has been a lot of aggression towards Camcycle in social media comments. Notably on Facebook, Nextdoor, etc. I am aware that angry aggressive people have always been on the internet but I do feel the level has increased since congestion charge notoriety, with many people's opinions degenerating into conspiracy theories about Camcycle and the council.

I do worry about the effect this can have on increasing "us vs them" mentality and increasing aggressive behaviour towards cyclists on the road.

It is important that we engage with the candidates at each election, scrutinise their views, and press for their commitments to cycling.

We need to finalise the route for the Winter Lights ride on 10th Dec
