A new simple survey has been launched to find out how cyclists and would be cyclists rate cycling in the town. Taunton has the basis of a cycling network now but there are gaps and some difficult sections of road and junctions. An aim is to establish what the priorities for cycling are, which would help in future funding bids by the local authorities.

Mike Ginger of Transition Taunton, who have prepared the survey said “Taunton is an ideal size for cycling and walking, and more cycling could help ease congestion and environmental problems. Many people already cycle with around 3000 trips to work each day. It is vital that the new proposed developments provide good walking and cycling access to the town centre and other services.” A further aim of the survey is to establish if there is interest in forming a cycling group in Taunton to promote day to day cycling.
