And we are planning another 4C = City Chief Cycle Challenge! Taking our politicians 'roon the toon - cycling, chatting, engaging and exchanging views. John Dobson Street should feature quite heavily this time, as there are immediate plans to make it cycle-friendly (as an alternative to Northumberland Street). We are eager to see the changes since last year.

Our policy and decision makers quite quickly have to make up their minds as to what kind of city they want Newcastle to be. We want a people toon with abounding cycleways and city centre easy to get around by bike and on foot.

It will add to positive pro-people transformation, making Newcastle more inclusive, space-efficient and putting a real focus people and how we use our city.
