'Bloody bonkers — there's no road left, it's crazy': Good to see the locals enjoying their new cycle lane... One disgruntled resident 'Raging Russell Porter' said the Stoke-on-Trent infra is a 'bloomin disgrace' cycling
Calling the lane a"bloomin disgrace", Raging Russell added:"The cycle lane is dangerous and how it's got planning permission I have no idea — when you come down to the bridge, two vehicles can't pass.
"It was quite safe as it was and there was no need for this new cycle lane. If they get away with this, they are going to be doing it all around the Potteries. I feel like they just do what they want, it's ridiculous. They didn't put signs up asking people what they think and if we had said no they would've still done it anyway. The roads in Stoke-on-Trent are a disgrace and you need a Jeep to go around the city.
"We were told by the government that we had to bid for them. We bid for as little as we can get away with in Stoke-on-Trent because I was not convinced that the scheme would be useful. It wasn't enough money to do something proper but we had to bid for it," Cllr Dan Jellyman said. "It doesn't achieve what it's meant to achieve. The point of the scheme was to try and encourage people to get out of their cars and onto bikes. Putting a bit of kerbing and white lines on a couple of roads doesn’t get people on bikes.
