‘Our town’s new £500,000 cycle lane has made the road more dangerous’

A council has been blasted for blowing half a million pounds on a cycle lane less than a mile long.

The £500,000 project in the seaside town of Gorleston, Norfolk, has been blasted for being a ‘colossal waste of money’ and drawn ire from cyclists themselves.

Locals claim the new lanes have made the street dangerously narrower and more hazardous, while retailers say the loss of parking spaces has harmed trade.

Mobility scooters have been spotted riding up and down the cycle lanes, delivery drivers regularly block them, and cyclists say they’re now forced onto the pavement to stay safe.
