MORE £££'S FOR CYCLE STANDS AT CHRISTMAS!

Cycle-friendly employers are being invited to a share of extra cash to 
encourage their staff to cycle to work.
The Travel for Work Partnership (TfW) the money for a Second Round of bids 
to its annual Take a Stand Scheme. Bids can be made until December 21, 2007.

Take A Stand is run by TfW using funds from Cambridgeshire County Council 
and Cambridge City Council Sustainable City Grant. It provides co-funding to 
local employers wishing to improve facilities for cycling commuters by 
providing modern cycle parking.

Bob Shimmens of the Royal Society of Chemistry based at the Science Park 
said: "The grant we received last year allowed us to put in some good 
quality stands and attractive covers in keeping with RSC's main entrance.

More stands were needed urgently as more staff cycle to work than there were 
spaces available and these have now been installed."

Employers wishing to apply for this year's second round of the scheme, or 
find out more about Travel for Work, should contact Lindsey Rushmore, 
Projects Officer on (01223) 712455 or email info@tfw.org.uk
