Councillors had claimed schoolkids won’t use protected bike lane due to gradient averaging 3.5% – but local schools back the infrastructure
A Camden Council committee yesterday evening voted through plans for a protected cycle lane on a road that Conservative councillors had claimed was “too steep” for many cyclists, including children.
Tory councillors in the Labour-controlled borough had called in the scheme, but the council’s culture and environment committee voted it through by a majority of five to one, with the news welcomed by London’s walking and cycling commissioner, Will Norman.
