Cyclists are now being offered the opportunity to express how safe they feel on local roads by filling out a survey created by Cheshire Police's Roads and Crime Unit.

Any cyclist who lives and or cycles in or through Cheshire is being encouraged to complete the short questionnaire from Cheshire Police.

Officers will use the results of the survey to help shape the way they police the county's roads.

PC Lee Spencer, from the force's Roads and Crime Unit, said: "Everyone has the right to use the roads safely and we want to get a better understanding of the cycling landscape in order to make better informed decisions when completing education and enforcement activity, to help make the roads safer for everyone.

"A lot more cyclists have been getting out on their bikes throughout the pandemic to get their daily exercise or to commute to and from work.

"With the increase in cyclists on the roads, the county has also sadly seen an increase in the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured.

"Cheshire can be a safe place to cycle and we want all road users to feel as safe as possible when out on the county's roads.

Cyclists have until Sunday 7 March to complete the survey, which can be found here.
