Portsmouth North Quarter Development
Portsmouth City Council is seeking comments prior to submitting an outline planning application for a major development of the temporary car park which was once the Tricorn Centre (just to the north of the Cascades).
The Portsmouth Cycle Forum have already raised issues on problems with cycling access and you may want to make your own comments at: http://www.northernquarter.info/index.html
Cycling In Surrey
You may have already read about Surrey locals complaining about the high level of cycling on their roads. This has led to a petition from the residents to Surrey County Council to place limits on cyclists by banning cycling events. There is now a counter petition from the cycling lobby to put the other point of view.

Hayling Cycle Ride is getting booked-up!
Close to 100 people have joined next year's ride already! It's looking like it will be fully-booked this year.
Part of the reason is that the ride is returning to Paris. There are two routes:
- Two-way riders will ride from Caen to Paris and back via Le Havre taking five days
- One-way riders will get a coach to Paris where they will join the two-way riders for the final three days cycling
Trish Farnham, Martyn Roberts and I are already signed up. It would be great to see you there too.
There are more details on the Hayling Cycle Ride web site.
