Motions x 3
All these motions have been redrafted to reflect comments I have received from various sources.
If you see any typographical errors, please point them out to me.
Please note my motions there is NO time deadline, so I am just giving a push to CTC to encourage its groups and itself to reconfigure its activities over a long-time frame to be environmentally benign.
I not suggesting we are going to exclude anybody, it just down to moral pressure.
Not all cyclists are Hard riders and can or have the time to ride long-distance or can stay away for many days.
I have no desired to encourage CTC members to leave our organisation for pastures anew.
I also do not think being concern about the environment is a freak show.
I am surprised by personal attacks, but they do make me laugh.
I am also surprised that the former trustee cannot see how poorly worked last year’s motion on flying was
AGM 2021
REDUCTION IN THE USE OF LOW PASSENAGER CAPACITY IN MOTOR VEHICLES
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
That CTC shall:
work toward a practical and realistic solution to achieve a reduction in the use of low passenger capacity in motor vehicles by encouraging shared use and the use of public transport to gain access to event venues.
To this end encourage the use of locations, promotion, and marketing of cycle rides, cycling holiday/tours and activities that encourage the use of public transport where available and if not share the use of motor vehicles.
Proposer’s note: The CTC
One of CTC objectives relates especially to the ‘promote the conservation and protection of the environment. That is negated if the motor vehicle is a single occupation. This increases a person’s annual carbon footprint and hence contributes to climate change.
Many events and cycle ride at the local level start at locations it impossible to get to unless a motor vehicle is used this practice should be reviewed.
The member survey indicated 71% support for ‘Encouraging cycle use to benefit the environment.
We propose that a progressive strategy reduce the promotion of cycling activities that involve only the use of motor vehicles.

CYCLE CARRIAGE ON TRAINS
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
That CTC shall:
• review Its cycle carriage on trains policy
• review Its engagement with Local Transport Groups Train Service Providers and National Rail etc
• In addition, the national office encourages local groups to engage directly with community rail partnerships to lobby for better cycle facilities both on trains (including removal of seats to create multi-use flexible space carriages as recently seen in Scotland) and at stations.
Engage in partnership with the European Cycling Federation to increase capacity in the UK the rest of Europe.
Proposer’s note: The CTC
We recognise that we need to communicate effectively with influential stakeholder to gain support to reverse the underfunding and the lack of provision since privatization.
Many events and cycle rid0es at local, national, or internal level start at locations it impossible to get to unless air flight and motor vehicle are used to gain access to the start location.
The use of flexible space on trains is a quick, cheap, and easy way to increase capacity that has been recently taken up by Scot Rail

HIGHWAY AGENCY
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
That CTC shall:
• seek funding for an officer to engage exclusively with the Highway Agency and similar bodies.
• review its policy on existing major road infrastructure etc and barriers it creates for cycling.
• seek to reduce the effects of existing barriers and seek to prevent the creation of new ones
Proposer’s note: The CTC
With every prospect of a major infrastructure scheme that creates a physical barrier to cycling particularly affecting the new cyclist, we need influence planning at an early stage and is very time consuming and mean that it does not get the attention it desired by our hard-working staff.
