SPOKES attended the Watford Cycle Forum on 15th September where the council presented, among other things, their plans for the Watford Green Ring, an idea conceived by SPOKES. The next step the council will take is to ‘derisk’ the eastern section, from the underpass below the ring road to the junction with Thomas Sawyer Way. The attached presentation shows some exciting improvements planned for the route as well as some ‘quick wins’ that they plan to implement in the next two years.

There are also details on other improvements planned.

SPOKES presented outline plans for the Cycle Gathering 2023, provisionally planned for second Saturday in June at end of National Bike Week.

See the attached 40 page presentation for more details
