Cycling Demonstration Town

In 2005 Darlington was selected by Cycling England to be one of six cycling demonstration towns in England. The award brings funding, spread over three years, of £1.5 million which will be used to improve facilities and infrastructure for cyclists in Darlington. In addition, there will be additional funding available from Darlington's second Local Transport Plan (2006-2011) to help with the improvements.

Cycling Town Review 2005/09

In September 2009 a review of the Cycling Demonstration Town project was produced to highlight the progress that has been made during the project so far. The Review shows where funding has been spent, in particular on developing the network of cycle routes and new cycle parking as well as activites in schools, workplaces and in producing information such as maps and self guided ride leaflets. The Review also includes a summary of the results of the ongoing monitoring of cycling through a number of measures.
