As a growing number of newspaper report pop-up cycle lanes put in place due to Covid 19 are being ripped out, accused of causing traffic mayhem, it’s time to start fighting back according to Cycling UK.
Up and down the country, councils are tearing up pop-up cycle lanes due to complaints from local residents and motorists who say they’ve had enough of the inconvenience and chaos they’re causing.
At least that’s the impression you might have formed if you’ve read some of the news headlines in recent weeks.
“Council scraps low-traffic scheme due to ‘chaos’ on roads” proclaimed one online publication this week after Wandsworth Council suspended its trial of a Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN).
It’s time to fight back. Let your local council know how much you appreciate what they’ve done, even if it’s not perfect
