In 2005 Exeter was named one of Cycling England’s six initial Cycling Demonstration Towns.
Tasked with achieving their vision of ‘More people cycling, more safely and more often’, Devon County Council has run this project with a DfT grant of £1.5m over three years, with Exeter City Council and developer contributions.
In 2008 after another successful bid, the project was extended to run until 2011 receiving an additional DfT grant of £2.25m.
Over the project period we have also been successful in drawing significant additional DfT funds due to under-spends by the other Demonstration Towns.
