Cyclists are now able to ride along beach promenades between Poole and Bournemouth at the same permitted times throughout July and August.

Borough of Poole and Bournemouth Borough Council  agreed to cyclists using the promenades between Sandbanks and Southbourne  before 10am and after 6pm each day.

Due to the high number of tourists and residents visiting the seafronts during the summer months it is necessary to have cycling restrictions in place to ensure public safety.

Signs along the promenade have been updated to remind people of the revised times for cycling. Both councils will be running spot checks along the promenade throughout July and August to ensure cyclists are co-operating with the new rules.

Cyclists found riding on the promenade between 10am and 6pm could face prosecution.

School Holidays!   What will your family be doing to keep active?

There’s something for all ages; opportunities to have fun whilst learning new skills in play, dance, drama, sports,
volunteering, community environmental projects, family learning and much more.
