Clackmannan Development Trust's Bike Loans for Key Workers

Lodged by Alexander Stewart Standard Motion 14 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament applauds the Clackmannan Development Trust, which is supporting frontline staff across the community by offering a free bicycle loan service to allow them to travel to and from work; understands that, with the area's bus operator suspending its services during the COVID-19 outbreak and car-sharing being difficult or impossible because of social distancing, the Trust identified that there were very few transport options for the workers to commute; acknowledges that the bike scheme is possible thanks to funding from Cycling Scotland, from which the Trust purchase a small fleet of cycles earlier in 2020; notes that the bikes are available in a range of sizes to meet everyone's needs; acknowledges that the key workers who already own a bike that might require some service work can receive this from Scott Bamford, who is the Trust's active travel co-ordinator; recognises that a number of workers have benefitted from the scheme, and commends everyone involved with this highly magnanimous gesture.
