THE new Witney MP will be joining campaigners on a cycle ride as they continue their pledge for a pedestrian and cycle path down the B4044.

Robert Courts will be hopping on his bike along with residents involved with the B4044 Eynsham to Botley Community Path campaign on Friday.

Campaigners hope Mr Courts will support their cause after years of fundraising to put a business plan together of the path for Oxfordshire County Council.

The ride will start at the Talbot Inn in Eynsham at 10.30am.
