Under the Freedom of Information Act, we would like to know how many County Councillors out of the 60 Devon County Councillors actually cycle to County Hall rather than by car to attend Cabinet, County Council and various other meetings. To our knowledge we are aware of only one County Councillor, Councillor Percy Prowse, who is currently chair of DCC who cycles
As the County Council are so intent on prioritising cyclists to the detriment of other road users in the City, would it not be appropriate for County Councillors to set a good example? You will probably say that you have many Councillors who live outside of Exeter and need to use their cars for various meetings, however, there are good Park & Ride facilities at Sowton and Marsh Barton.
Devon County Council do not hold the travel arrangements of each councillor in our records.
