Why is this removal and not redesign/replacement if the issue was just design (not parking). As stated by the env./sustainability cllr. Gavigan said: "Cycling and cycle lanes are a key part of our integrated transport strategy – the problem with this one was the design which was seriously flawed."

Always good to have a good reminder of human scale transit. I was leading a group ride out Yesterday and had a gentleman flag us down as his CO2 had failed for his puncture repair, helped out with a pump and cycled on with him for the next few miles having a good chat.

Well very surprised to see that there is objection to putting solar panels on a closed golf course near me (just because they're solar panels). The golf course was closed due to the levels of arsenic found and the leachate. Why not use the land for something productive
