The high street is dying

So, is it the recession? They are concentrating on ooo maybe better parking will attract them? But, But, the traffic, parking prices are extortionate! What? how about making it seamless and cheap to get in without a car? Studies show on the continent cycling makes town centres more prosperous.
Utility cycling increases local economies and livens up town centres. This wikipedia page explains what Utility Cycling means.
I'm going to the Ely City Forum Meeting on Wednesday to discuss the Portas Report and on how we can enliven the centre of Ely. I hope I can put forward a good case for making the centre of Ely cycle friendly and hopefully in the process improve it's prosperity.
