Delivery of Safe System, the best practice approach to road safety, depends on all the segments of the circle working together. Each stakeholder has a responsibility to each segment, even if the size of their input varies.

Community groups are one such stakeholder which bring an important contribution. CamCycle has been working in the city of Cambridge for nearly 30 years for more, better and, most importantly, safer cycling. Their work has played no small part in the city, once again, being given the accolade of the UK’s leading city region for walking and cycling (Greater Cambridge Walking and Cycling Index - Sustrans.org.uk).
