Hasn't anyone told the council that the government is paying by the metre for new cycle lanes? In other counties, cyclists are given priority lanes even if it is only 3 metres long.

I know of one road that has a wide pavement and the council put a cycle lane on the inside, away from the traffic. Several elderly residents have already been "run over" as they have exited their property..........but, hey, the council make a profit so who cares!!
