If NGT goes ahead it would remove the cycle lanes along Headingley Lane between Headingley Hill and Hyde Park Corner.

NGT’s publicity team defend this by saying that NGT would add more cycle lanes than it takes away.

But it’s no good having cycle lanes in little shreds that disappear just when they’re most needed.

The absence of continuous cycle lanes makes it a dangerous and unappealing option and thereby keeps people in their cars.

To remove any cycle lanes as part of a plan to tackle congestion is absurd.
