One of our major criticisms of last year’s Pedal for Scotland event was the lack of consultation and information for local people impacted by the road closures.  This was particularly important for people in Kirkliston.

We are pleased that the event organisers have been much more open this year and have engaged local groups like the community council.

This year’s event will take place on Sunday 9^th September. 

The event organisers have created a dedicated information booklet or residents in Kirkliston.  You can get all the information here.

Hard copies of these are being delivered to the village.

As a result of feedback, it’s important to note that the last cyclist now leaves Glasgow Green 30 minutes earlier than previous years meaning that roads can be reopened earlier. The letter drop to residents is being sent out earlier than in previous years.

For people with priority needs, most importantly such as social care visits, managed access plans can be put in place if Pedal Scotland are contacted at info@pedal.scot If people are unable to access the Internet or email, they can phone 0333 300 3485.
