Cycling: the easy way to save fuel | Cycling UK Recent days have once again shown how reliant we are on the internal combustion engine, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Official statistics show that in 2020, 71% of all journeys made in the UK were shorter than five miles – a distance ideally suited to cycling.

It's only a mile along The Green between Long Whatton and Diseworth.
Moving between our two villages should be safe for those who want to leave the car at home and travel on foot, cycle, wheelchair or horse.
The recent Parish Survey (combined with our Dossier of Demand) indicates that there is support from residents of both villages for better, safer, greener active travel facilities between our villages.
Those who WANT to do so should feel safe to do so.
"Make people feel safe, and they will do it"
