Cadbury steps down as APPGCW Co-Chair

Ruth Cadbury has stepped down as Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Cycling and Walking (APPGCW) after eight years working with the group following her appointment as Shadow Justice Minister.

She will be replaced as co-Chair by Fabian Hamilton, MP for Leeds North East, who has been the treasurer for the group since 2015. Selaine Saxby, the MP for North Devon will stay on as Co-Chair. 

Cadbury, MP for Brentford and Isleworth, was formerly a policy advisor for Sustrans. She first joined the APPGCW in 2015, and at the same time became Co-Chair in 2015. During this time she has overseen key reports launched by the group, including; Cycling and the Justice System, Stuck in first gear – the Government’s Cycling Revolution, Get Britain Cycling, Reaching Our Active Travel Potential, and most recently the Road Justice Report 2023. 

Cadbury MP said: “Being co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Cycling and Walking has been a hugely important role to me as an MP. 

“Although I won’t be involved with the group, I will continue to be a vocal champion for active travel, and all the benefits that it brings.”
