BICESTER residents are being urged to give feedback on a major new cycle scheme to help make the town a safer place to ride and walk, cutting vehicle journeys and creating cleaner air. Proposals for the Bicester Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan will be made possible thanks to the government s active travel fund as well as an investment by the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP), with a focus on increasing cycle journeys. Under the plan, it is hoped people will be able to walk or cycle from the south and west of Bicester into the town centre, via Kings End and Causeway.

COVID cycle lanes in the capital have been found to be “unlawful”, a high court has ruled – but what does this mean for Brighton and Hove? Two groups representing black cab drivers have won a landmark legal case against the London mayor and Transport for London (TfL) over traffic schemes in response to the pandemic. The London scheme, called Streetspace, saw roads closed and others narrowed to create new cycle lanes in the height of last year’s lockdown. The measures were found to be “seriously flawed” by a High Court judge, who called for an end to the initiative.
PEOPLE in Hanover had the first glimpse of what a low-traffic neighbourhood might look like before a pilot scheme planned for the area next summer. They were given an outline of the “mini Holland” scheme in Waltham Forest, London, at a virtual meeting organised under the Livable Hanover banner on last night (Tuesday 15 December). Green councillor Elaine Hills, who represents Hanover and Elm Grove, hosted the event to introduce the idea of a low-traffic neighbourhood before a public consultation and the proposed pilot. She introduced the Labour deputy leader of Waltham Forest Borough Council, Clyde Loakes, who is responsible for transport, traffic and highways.
