I don't do Facebook on the strong recommendation of my more technically and privacy minded colleagues. It has been widely recognised that Facebook groups merely solidify opinions and tend to make them more extreme. The problem I have is that if 'people who would like some protected space for cycling' are making patently false claims about the impact the current arrangement are having on the emergency services, I worry that the cycle way will not provide a viable alternative when it is completed. It would give an instant reassurance to all if the council could confirm that they have consulted with the Fire Brigade and the Ambulance Service and designed the cycleway to accommodate all their vehicles so that, even if there is gridlock in Chiswick, we know that lives are not being put at risk. Obviously, people who are advocates for these schemes have a responsibility to ensure that every measure possible is taken to prevent any harmful impacts. |
