The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Linlithgow Community Development Trust on its hard work and dedication to cycling, with the West Lothian Cycle Circuit officially opening on 27 May 2023; notes that this is in time for the UCI World Cycling Championship in summer 2023, which will allow competitors to use the track as an official qualifying and training ground; further notes that the 1km floodlit cycle circuit has a focus on accessibility for all; believes that this will give everyone in West Lothian and beyond the opportunity to access a safe, traffic-free cycling environment, regardless of age or ability; acknowledges the work undertaken by Linlithgow Community Development Trust and local cycle group, the Clarion Club, to ensure the creation and completion of this site; thanks national funding bodies, including the Scottish Government, for, it believes, being able to see the potential in this excellent community-led initiative, and celebrates all those coming out to cycle on the new cycle circuit on 27 May 2023.
