Cycling and civic leaders call on Prime Minister to secure lasting Tour de France 2027 legacy through £30 million investment in community cycling facilities

Cycling and civic leaders, including representatives from British Cycling, Grand Départ GB 2027, Scottish Cycling, and Beicio Cymru, have written an open letter urging the UK Prime Minister to commit £30 million in capital investment in community cycling facilities. The call is tied to Britain's upcoming hosting of the Tour de France men's and women's Grand Départs in 2027, making it the first nation outside France to host both events simultaneously. The signatories argue the investment would improve public health, reduce inequalities, and create lasting community benefits, with over 10 million spectators expected to line the route.
