PEOPLE who have signed up to Travel Thurrock to support ways of creating more sustainable methods of travelling around the borough have a chance to win a £300 adult bicycle.
The first 1,000 people who signs up to the scheme will receive a free pedometer enabling them to keep track of how much walking they do every day.
And the April edition of the Travel Thurrock email announces that Thurrock Council and Cycles UK have donated the £300 bike and everyone who has signed up will be entered in the prize draw on Tuesday, 29 May.
The email also gives news about events and interested groups ― such as the Thurrock Cycle Forum and the newly created Thurrock Local Access Forum ― as well as special deals and the prize draw.
Details of a dozen cycle-related events over the coming months are also published in the email.
