“Why bother about evidence?” Cycling UK responds to Tory MPs’ call to end emergency active travel funding | road.cc
“So-called War on the Motorist is a myth,” says national cycling charity as it urges opponents of active travel measures to heed experts
“Why bother about evidence?” That’s the question posed by Cycling UK in response to a letter from 14 Conservative MPs, including former minister for cycling Robert Goodwill, as they appealed to transport secretary Grant Shapps to withdraw emergency active travel funding for initiatives such as pop-up bike lanes and low traffic neighbourhoods.
The letter, which we reported on earlier today – our previous story appears in full below – was also supported by anti-cycling lobby groups Fair Fuel UK, the Association of British Drivers and the Motorcycle Action Group, as well as the Road Haulage Association.
