Hi,

I am campaigning to support the new cycle trails proposed by the National Trust for Plymbridge in Plymouth. It doesn't matter if you live near Plymouth or not, support from anywhere in the UK would make a huge difference!

The National Trust has submitted plans to Plymouth Council to develop a new network of mountain bike tracks for all users, from the family beginner to the very experienced. However, some local residents have protested this amazing project with unfounded claims of destruction to the wildlife and noise and parking concerns. These claims are completely ridiculous - This is the National Trust after all - They protect wildlife, not endanger it. There are full planning details on the Plymouth Planning Commission website if anyone is interested. Please also see the news coverage of the whole debate on the Plymouth Herald website - links below. Most importantly, please sign our online petition and better still, join our facebook group to show your support for the project. Like i said, it doesn't matter if your a Plymouth resident or not, if you feel as strongly as we do that these trails should be allowed to be built, then please support us. Just one look at the ridiculous statements of the nimby protestors will be enough to show you why we are so committed to supporting this project.
