He also provided advice on how best to engage with the Mayor&#8217;s office and other decision makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, he advised that everyone should (urgently) review the recently created <a href=\"https:\/\/derbycyclinggroup.org.uk\/site\/2025\/06\/mayor-urged-to-divert-roads-cash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">report calling &#8220;to strengthen rail and bus links and improve walking and cycling rather than spending it on new roads&#8221;<\/a>. Members should then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastmidlands-cca.gov.uk\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">write to the Mayor<\/a> explaining how this would be the right approach for their locality and asking the Mayor if &#8220;she will give a lead in this process&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alan also advised members to similarly write to their MPs making the same point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alan fed back that he enjoyed meeting the DCG membership &#8220;There were lots of thoughtful and insightful contributions&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image is licensed under the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/en:Creative_Commons\">Creative Commons<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/deed.en\">Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported<\/a> license.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 AGM of the Derby Cycling Group was held in June 2025.
