SDLP Strabane Councillor Patsy Kelly has called on the Minister of Regional Development for greater promotion of cycling in the North West.
Cllr Patsy Kelly said; “Cycling is becoming a very popular recreational activity in Northern Ireland. Cycling is one of the easiest ways to fit exercise into your daily routine, because it’s also a form of transport which is free. Not only does it save you money, but helps to get you fit and is good for the environment.
“Cycling in the North West is perfect way to see Ireland, as you pass through several different countries and through the towns of Strabane, Omagh, Enniskillen and Sligo. Our existing cycle paths are mostly traffic free and they utilizes the beautiful country roads surrounding our towns.
“I am calling on Minister of Regional Development Danny Kennedy for investment to be put into promoting the potential for cycling in the North West. Increased investment and promotion for cycling in the North West will have a positive impact on tourism and job opportunities in the areas.
