Cycling and clean air campaigner Justin McKie said the scheme is welcome, particularly as it addresses transport issues left over when the CS11 cycle lane project was scrapped in 2019.
He said: This scheme makes a lot of sense, not least dealing with the acute issue of un-necessary pollution outside of Schools, but it would also importantly add a safe route for the huge uptick in cyclists that want to avoid public transport going forward. Several years ago, CS11 might have made this scheme less important – but local ‘pro-car’ lobbyists disagreed. They scuppered CS11 and never came up with their promised alternatives.
