The motion

That the Parliament joins Sustrans Scotland in celebrating the National Cycle Network in Scotland as it turns 20 years old in 2015; understands that the network runs for over 2,500 miles across Scotland, including through the Edinburgh Southern constituency, providing important community links that encourage everyday journeys to be made more sustainably; acknowledges that, in 2014, the network hosted over 120 million trips on foot or by bike; considers that the network is a huge asset for Scotland, with the health benefits of network journeys and the economic value of leisure and tourism cycling valued at hundreds of millions of pounds, and believes that as the network continues to grow in the years ahead so too will the benefits.
