Spokes has been busy studying the details of today's CEC Budget -
"
Edinburgh City councillors have taken a remarkable decision on cycling investment in today’s Council 2012/13 budget, setting a completely new standard for other councils…
The council decided today that 5% of its transport capital budget will be invested in cycling infrastructure and projects [p19 of budget motion, 1.7MB] – and this is quite apart from additional ‘external’ funding. To our knowledge, no other Scottish council has set a percentage for cycling, let alone such an ambitious figure.
