Britwell Bicycle Club meet ups
The partnership brings young people together to work on their bicycles at the club.
Community volunteers will be joined by a Thames Valley Police PCSO to be trained in bike mechanic maintenance.
Vinay Vyas, a council community project officer, PCSO Pawel Pietras and Alan Jones of the Britwell Youth and Community project have all been successfully trained and have become accredited as bicycle mechanics. Training was given by experts from Cycle Experience and provided by the council’s sustainable transport team Better by.
Thames Valley Police provided funding that allowed the club to purchase much needed spare parts and some tools.
Britwell Youth and Community Project manager Paula Murphy and Alan have set up as a hub of cycling activity. Concentrating on bike maintenance and bike recycling, Alan and Paula have continued to provide local young people with the opportunity to meet while also learning how to maintain their own bikes.
It also encourages as many young people as possible to use cycling as a way of travelling around the borough and to allow young people interested in cycling an opportunity to meet.
