Plans to encourage cycling by banning cars from “rat run” delayed –

1,000 locals have signed a petition opposing the scheme in Beeston, though one resident claimed campaigners have “catastrophised” the ban

A plan to encourage cycling by banning motorists from a cut-through road described by locals as a “race track” has been delayed after a petition against the proposals secured over 1,000 signatures.
Last month we reported that Nottinghamshire County Council was planning to introduce an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) which would stop cars from accessing the narrow Dovecote Lane in Beeston. 
The planned closure, which will be enforced using planters, is being funded by the DfT’s Active Travel Fund and aims to encourage cycling in the area “for all ages”.
