WELCOME TO THE FARNHAM CYCLE CAMPAIGN
We want to create cycle tracks that are separate from the road and will encourage a significant volume of people want to start using them on bikes and scooters (electric, push and mobility) each day. We aim to link large areas of housing with major Farnham destinations such as schools, stations and town centres via tracks. The councils are still considering our plans but we need more public support so please follow us on Facebook and Twitter (@CycleFarnham). We regulary post some amazing info about cycling from around the world.

Farnham pollution levels
Here is a copy of the presentation.
Farnham needs and HGV ban!
40 tonne lorries have no place in a small market town centre. The supermarkets wouldn't be affected if their HGVs left the town on the same route that they entered, with a 7.5 tonne ban only on Downing St, The Borough and Union Road.
Our train station survey on 22nd October, collected 667 votes in favour of the Farnham Cycle Superhighway and only 136 against, so 5:1 in favour and potentially up to 1300 cycle jounrneys per day using it.
WELCOME TO THE FARNHAM CYCLE CAMPAIGN
Farnham's road congestion is one of the worst in Surrey. This photo is from September 2019 without the traffic cones and we have many photos that are similar from 2019. So why not cycle into town from now on. Stationary cars are even safer for cyclists but imagine what it would be like if Farnham had segregated cycle tracks. Please email your local Surrey County Councillor and Town Councillors if you want to make this happen quickly in Farnham.

LATEST NEWS
WHY NOT JOIN ONE OF FARNHAM'S MANY CYCLE GROUPS
OUR MAP OF A POSSIBLE CYCLE NETWORK
People often say that there isn't enough space in Farnham town centre to build cycle tracks. So to set the record straight Farnham Cycle Campaign has published OUR MAP SHOWING POSSIBLE ROUTES across Farnham which could be used to construct a initial network of cycle tracks. These cycle tracks would not require the closure of any car lanes but would allow a lot of people to get into Farnham town centre by leaving their car at home if they live close enough. This would reduce car congestion in the town centre which would help people who live too far out to cycle into town.
If you would like to see this network built, please email your local councillor. Their existing plans won't form a safe cycle network. You can find the councillors email addresses by searching for 'democracy' and 'Farnham'.
