Therefore, DMBC have committed to the ‘Get Doncaster Moving
Programme’. As the name suggests, the programme is designed
to ‘get Doncaster moving’ and focuses on a number of
key themes – one of which is ‘Cycling’ – to
facilitate and inspire Doncaster residents to increase their levels
of physical activity and benefit all associated factors.
The Tour de Yorkshire 2019 and UCI World Championships 2019 both
form part of the Cycling theme of GDM and it is proposed that a
Seed Fund (of £3000 per event) will be implemented. This will
support the events by ‘creating a festival atmosphere within
local communities’ and help engage those groups that may
previously not have been involved. The Seed Fund will provide up to
£200 of funding to facilitate activities along the routes of
the Tour de Yorkshire 2019 and UCI World Championships
2019.
