Back in November we asked those who attended or watched the Transport debate to answer a few questions about the event. Here is what we’ve learnt.

The answers to the survey were entered into a prize draw with Bristol Inspiring Change book published by Alastair Sawday’s as a prize, which was won by David Williams, Postgraduate Research Student at UWE. Congratulations to him and thanks to all who filled in the survey.

Did you know there are nearly 150 courier companies in Bristol? The Green Capital Partnership is seeking the help of pledge businesses to help prove the feasibility of cycle couriers and in turn reduce the level of car and van traffic in the city. We will also be talking to Bristol City Council to see if we can transfer some of their deliveries to bikes. In turn, we will work with you to draw up some case-studies and publicise the results. Prices can be between 25% and 50% cheaper than the equivalanty by traditional means .  Read more…
