We have had a wonderful response thus far to the petition with over 500 signatures already received. I would like to see us at least double this number by the end of next weekend. If you have petitions out there that have been signed please send them in no later than 17 May so that I can start to collate the results and present the petition to the council. In line with this date, I would like to maximise the number of signatures that we can obtain over the next week. If you meet a group of friends for a ride please take copies of the petition with you and get them signed. If you join a group ride on a regular basis please take a copy of the petition and get it signed. Please contact me if you are willing to do this so I can make sure that all bases are covered. In addition to this, please contact me at michael@michaelforbes.org if you would be willing to spare an hour or two of your time next weekend to being in select locations to gather signatures for the petition.

Please remember I cannot use the No Stopping Zone. If you ride on Beach Road on the weekends it is for you. I’m volunteering my services to coordinate this effort but I need your help to gather the signatures. It is too hard for me to get up at that time of the morning and very difficult to do from a wheelchair. If you want this no stopping zone to make your weekend riding safer please spare an hour of your time next weekend to help get this across the line.

Thank you,

Mike.
