The group said it welcomed the likelihood that many of the trial projects – put in place under the government-funded ‘Streetspace’ programme to encourage walking and cycling – would be removed following extensive resident feedback. However, it hit out at the Labour administration responsible for implementing the six-month projects, which included pop-up cycle lanes and road closures to form low-traffic neighbourhoods, accusing it of failing to listen to public opinion despite repeated warnings.
