Activate Clitheroe is a grassroots community movement campaigning for better walking cycling and wheeling infrastructure in Clitheroe
Priorities
- Making it easier and safer for schoolchildren to walk or cycle to school
- Encouraging shoppers to walk or cycle into the town centre and market and do more local, smaller shops
- Encouraging local employers to offer employees incentives for walking or cycling to their workplaces
- Exploring options for partial pedestrianisation of the town centre
- Creating more car parking spaces on the edge of the town centre
- Organising more entertainment and events in the town centre to attract locals and visitors alike
We believe this has the potential to make Clitheroe – and the surrounding villages – a healthier, happier and more prosperous place.
All aboard the Bike Bus!
This week is National Cycle to School Week and we’d really like to see more school age children in Clitheroe riding to school.
What if there was a way to keep kids safe while cycling to school by bringing them together in a safe, supervised, supportive environment which encouraged them to ride with confidence?
Guess what: there already is… and it’s called a Bike Bus!
Explore Clitheroe on foot
We recently created a largely traffic-free walking route around Clitheroe, stretching from Pimlico to Standen and Worston to Low Moor.
It’s almost 14km or 8.5 miles long and should take around 4 hours to complete and it’s a great way to get to explore Clitheroe on foot.
This route starts and finishes at Clitheroe Station and joins the circular route in a clockwise direction from the end of Woone Lane, but you can join it at any point along the way.
