Chesterfield Cycle Campaign promotes cycle use in Chesterfield for both leisure and utility journeys.
By campaigning for a comprehensive network, we aim to improve conditions for cyclists so that cycling becomes a safer and more attractive option than car travel for local journeys.

We’ve heard from Derbyshire County Council that the complaints made by Chesterfield Civic Society have been considered by the Local Government Ombudsman and decisions have been made. However they are not yet published so no news as yet whether the scheme will go ahead.
