'It's not going to get people out of their cars and onto bikes if their 'safe route' keeps being stolen': Cyclists call out latest bike lane vandalism as city named 'worst in Europe for green transport' cycling
"Is this how we do democracy in Trafford?" one local cyclist asked. "Why is this being allowed to happen? We have been complaining for weeks about cones being removed and now large sections are missing. Maybe I should go back to driving."
Speaking to WalkRideAlty, a campaign group hoping"to make Altrincham, Timperley and Broadheath better places to walk and ride" road.cc was told the council is"painfully slow" at dealing with such instances. "The road was heavily congested before lockdown and before this scheme was put in place, but drivers may think that the cause is the cycle lane, rather than too many cars on the road. Today there is nothing south of the M60 junction, and sections near junctions have been removed, ie. Where people on bikes need the most protection.
"Is this a strategy by the council, or are they just a bit rubbish? Either way, it's not going to get people out of their cars and on to bikes, if their 'safe route' keeps being stolen."In April, Trafford Council came under fire after resurfacing an entire road,on its statement that the works were"complete", confirming that it would resume work on the bike path later in the month.
