About Bridgwater Area Cycling Campaign
improve & promote safer cycling and the provision of new route infrastructure within Bridgwater and the surrounding areas. We
also will support (where applicable) safer walking, the interests of pedestrians and all means of sustainable transport.
The group has four main focus areas. These are, safety (concerning ourselves with vulnerable road users, reduction in speed
limits and assessing local areas for personal safety risk), behavioural change (raising awareness of the benefits of cycling and
increased physical activity), infrastructure (influencing changes to both existing and new paths and local route mapping), and
communications (raising awareness through ‘our’ website, social media, the local press and any group’s correspondence).
