The County Council has decided to give a higher 21 to cycling and agreed a new strategy to guide the way ahead in East Sussex. Cycling is a 22 , healthy and environmentally-friendly form of transport. It is intended to make it safer, more convenient and attractive, and to increase the 23 of journeys made by bicycle.

Cycling is being encouraged both for utility purposes (such as journeys to work, school and the shops) and for 24 trips for exercise and enjoyment, including longer trips by tourists.

Recent cycle schemes carried out in conjunction with District Councils and other bodies include the Brighton and Hove seafront route and the Cross Levels Way cycle route, in Eastbourne.

25 people will be consulted as the strategy is implemented. The County Council will work with local cycling and other groups, and a countywide Cycling Forum will be formed to 26 that all bodies concerned with cycling are in regular 27 .

The objectives of the Cycling Strategy are given in a leaflet, and a 28 of the full strategy document can be seen in County Council Public Libraries.

The Space Age began well over half a century ago, and ever since then the area just 29 the Earth’s atmosphere has been filling up with all kinds of man-made objects that have become 30 as ‘space junk’. The items up there 31 from old satellites and parts of rockets to hundreds of thousands of pieces smaller than one centimetre, all of them travelling at extremely 32 speed. Over the last five years, the number of such objects in space is 33 to have risen by 50 per cent, and this has 34 increased the risk of damage to working satellites or space vehicles with crews on board.
International agreement has therefore now been 35 on limiting the amount of new space junk. Scientists have also 36 some interesting suggestions for tidying up space. These include using laser beams, giant nets and even an enormous umbrella-like device to collect tiny bits of junk.
