| 143228 |  | Don’t close the parking! | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143190 |  | Leave as is for watersports access | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143164 |  | It is fine as it is, serves the purpose as a main road in and out of Bath. The canal tow path gives an excellent cycle and walking alternative. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143152 |  | This stretch does not need short term cycle lane. Competent cyclists ride up it no problem and the not so competent get off and walk up the pavement. There is already a shortage of space for car parking here for all Harbour users and those just wanting to enjoy the view as it is. Why spoil this pleasure simply for cyclists to pass but??? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143145 |  | Watersports access | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143139 |  | Letchworth designed for the car not for people or bikes. Pedestrianise Town Centre. | Track: Problem track |
| 143135 |  | Please do not remove parking at evening hill | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143122 |  | Speeding vehicles along Godwin and Siward Road making it unsafe to walk in the road, to avoid people walking on the pavement. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 143111 |  | Keep it for the WINDSURFERS | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143022 |  | From Black Water to Parley there is a dedicated shared pedestrian cycle path. Cyclists don't use it especially around the airport. Try to educate cyclists to use the cycle path, so angerous for the to cycle on the road | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 142951 |  | Whitecliff. Bikes go way to fast. I've seen so many near misses. Most cyclists don't realise a 10 miles an hour speed limit. You should paint speed limit on the path. Also clear signs. It's got worse since the virus. | Track: Problem track |
| 142862 |  | Since the southern relief road, Church Road, Ringsfield has become a rat run out on to the B1062 from the A145. There needs to be restricted access to this road, to ensure safety of pedestrians, cyclist and environment of this very country lane. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 142794 |  | Dangerous bends with no visibility could be improved with a path. | Track: Problem track |
| 142584 |  | Speeding cars. Reduce speed limit and add chicanes. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 142512 |  | Need proper cycle ways throughout | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 142480 |  | Can there be some active management to prevent parking across cycleways and on footways. This is almost at epidemic levels all over the conurbation making if difficult and dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists to squeeze by "parked" cars. | Track: Problem track |
| 142401 |  | I suggest speed restriction & a little widening of pavement opposite the office / school entrance at Valley Primary School. | Track: Problem track |
| 141832 |  | London Road. Cycleway very narrow and seems to invite close passes from motor vehicles. They see the white line & think it's fine to drive close to it, regardless of presence of cyclist. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141518 |  | Cycle path along the A540 where the pavement is now | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141327 |  | Suggestions for post Covid travel in Hexham. - All residential streets to be made ‘priority for cycles’ streets – fietsstraaten as in Nederlands, where cars must give way to bikes - All streets throughout the rest of the town to have either segregated or on road line painted cycle lanes - Strict enforcement of parking on cycle lanes by cars – personally I suggest towing - Secure bike parking shelters in town centre, hospital and supermarkets – of the covered bus shelter type, with key pad entry ( as at many hospitals in UK). This could involve payment via an app of a small fee for a days entry - Increased standard cycle racks throughout town. - Road layout changed throughout town making car use more difficult and using the increased space to create safe cycle lanes. - Segregated cycle lane(s) from Hexham to the cycle path at Prudhoe, so linking Hexham to Newcastle for commuting (yes it is possible to ride that far, and you can always get the train home). This would work well along the existing main road – A695 or A69 as land along these is already owned by Local Authority or Highways Agency (?) and so there would be no cost from having to buy land. - Setting up cycle racks at every school with a capacity for 10% less than the number of pupils attending – when the schools say they need more then the scheme has worked - At all light controlled junctions throughout the town there would be a separate bike light, activated either by the approaching bike automatically or by being pressed by the cyclist on arrival at the junction. This speedily (usually within 5 seconds) begins to change the sequence to green for bikes and so gives cyclists priority and discourages just riding through the lights as a rider can get them to change safely and quickly. - Encouraging the establishing of cycle courier businesses for shopping delivery in the town, where trailer bikes/e-bikes/trikes deliver. To discourage vans driving tiny distances round the town delivering shopping from Tesco et al. I suggest a mechanism either by the stores or HTC to make van delivery prohibitively expensive or just not allowing them within the town. This cuts traffic and pollution and creates employment via self employment/small business, rather than corporations, in one go. Claiming that this is too difficult denies reality, just look abroad, this is entirely normal in The Nederlands and the current situation in Hexham would stand out as freakishly outdated. What is listed above is entirely normal in every Dutch City, Town and Village. This is as a result of deliberate policy at national and local levels from the 1980s when as decision was made that the number of deaths from collisions between cars and bikes, especially involving children, was entirely unacceptable. As a result investment, and more importantly imagination, was put in to create a Nation where cycling was the normal means of travel for most shorter journeys by all ages. Because it was now safe, people cycled. As everyone cycled they were aware of how vulnerable cycles were and so when they drove a car they drove accordingly. To say it is too expensive is to deny the vast amounts being spent to keep the economy afloat at the moment and to undervalue the many benefits of such a set up – Health - both physical and mental, through exercise, lessening of air pollution and accidents on the road. Safety – people of all ages being safe to use this kinder and sustainable form of transport. Community cohesion – cycling is social, it brings people together, they chat while riding, meet and travel together, get to know new people. Climate benefits – lessening air pollution, lessen dependence on fossil fuels, increases resilience of the community with this. I would hate to see the odd 20 metres of cycle lane painted on the road and ignored by drivers, which then disappears near dangerous areas for bikes, as happens all over the UK. This lack of imagination would represent a complete failure to look to the opportunities presented to us at this time. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 141060 |  | The road surface is rough in that the loose gravel is the worse. A sign, as to the road, cars come into this road the very fast | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140558 |  | Cars passing very close to pedestrians as no pavement in places. Pedestrianisation would improve safety | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 140333 |  | There are 15 cutouts/crossings and numerous obstructions, including a bus shelter on the cycleway - generally lethal | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140266 |  | Protected cycle lane need on the ring road with barrier to separate cars and cyclists. Why have the council not tried a pop-up cycle lane to test it out? | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140242 |  | Make it safer for the covid-19 social distancing | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 140235 |  | This stretch of pavement (between Benson and Shillingford) is in urgent need of vegetation cutting back, it is very dangerous cycling especially as it runs along a busy A4074 road | Track: Problem track |
| 139767 |  | Need a route between hitchin and stevenage, roads at st ippolytes and little wymondly are dangerous with blind corners etc. Cycle lanes in Stevenage are great but then they just stop | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139764 |  | I hear there is voting going on about removing the benches around St Martin's square. This is absolutely ridiculous!! What about the people who need to sit down to rest? Do you want these people just to stay home. The whole social distancing idea has gone mad!! | Track: Problem track |
| 139662 |  | Put a cut in as we live over from the school and struggle to park | Track: Problem track |
| 139426 |  | Much of Elm Grove has a very wide pavements, unfortunately these are used for parking cars, they could quickly become cycle lanes | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 139350 |  | Too many cars, too many cyclists, no room for residents to get home. Resident only access | Track: Problem track |
| 139195 |  | Busy footway on only one side of narrow road for exercise and once schools back children to Primary school. Several blind bends pose danger if people step into carrigeway to maintain social distance. Improved safety if speed reduced from 30mph to 20 mph as soon as possible | Track: Problem track |
| 138844 |  | The road is congested with parked cars so it’s not safe for cyclists. Set one side of the road aside for cyclists | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 138739 |  | Not enough room for cyclists and motorised vehicles to coexist. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 138737 |  | Not enough room for cyclists and motorised vehicles to coexist. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 138018 |  | Narrow sections of pavement also used by cycles. Bottlenecks need widening and tarmacking over grass edge would make it much wider and safer | Track: Problem track |
| 138017 |  | Narrow sections of pavement also used by cycles. Bottlenecks need widening and tarmacking over grass edge would make it much wider and safer | Track: Problem track |
| 137922 |  | Lack of disability parking in town. Please do not remove all disabled parking locations [unlikely?] | Track: Problem track |
| 137889 |  | In order to support local business an al fresco dining area for the surrounding restaurants and bars would be useful for social distancing measures. [perhaps Cank St, Leicester] | Track: Problem track |
| 137868 |  | Having the road in place prevents a huge social space where folks can eat and drink at a safe distance, outdoors | Track: Problem track |
| 137798 |  | No cycle way between Nottingham and Mansfield, close pass is the norm due to narrow lanes and severe bends. The existing pavement is so overgrown it is disappearing | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137672 |  | There needs to be a dropped kerb here to allow easy access to and from the shared bike path. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137350 |  | Segregated cycleway required here, there have been numerous accidents along this stretch of road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137192 |  | Most pavements are unused or underused by pedestrians. I am one myself, but am happy and would cyclists to be safe, therefore I would like to see space for cyclists on all pavements where underuse by pedestrians is common, eg almost everywhere outside shopping areas | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 137149 |  | Current building works mean pavement shut on one side, leaving narrow pavement on one side only. Drivers speed down Ordsall Lane incredibly fast making crossing difficult. Narrowing to one car lane until pavement reopened would make it safer for everyone. | Track: Problem track |
| 136759 |  | More police presence to deter youngsters from riding bicycles and e-scooters recklessly on the footways | Track: Problem track |
| 136481 |  | Traffic speeds down this road and does not observe the speed limit. I have two small children, crossing the road can be a death trap! Speed bumps, cameras or something to force people to slow down, needs to be put in place. There is no pavement on our side of the road. So again, unsafe for children. A pavement would help to make crossing a lot safer. | Track: Problem track |
| 136331 |  | Close end of road on Haydons Road so no through road to reduce traffic on residential road and allow children to use the road in safety [Wimbledon, presumably] | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 136294 |  | Safer for pedestrians | Track: Problem track |
| 136211 |  | Monton Road should be closed to motor vehicles to allow the businesses to share the space with cyclists and pedestrians | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 136131 |  | Please stop vehicles driving along and parking on pavements. | Track: Problem track |
| 136086 |  | Canal path more suitable for walkers. Cars not parked on pavements so can use the space available | Track: Problem track |
| 136047 |  | MAKE THEM SAFER | Track: Problem track |
| 135929 |  | Pavement and roads in Blyth need work as very badly broken and uneven pavements and roads dangerous for disabled especially and visually impaired | Track: Problem track |
| 135849 |  | Cyclists need to be protected from motorised traffic, and we should not take space from pedestrians. Barriers would solve both problems | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 135842 |  | Junction at entrance to park. Difficult to see when pulling out of junction because of parked cars. No crossing for children entering or exiting the park. Speeding is an issue here. An accident waiting to happen. Widen pavement to calm traffic on approach. | Track: Problem track |
| 135652 |  | Very busy street. Definitely can't implement social distancing here. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 134902 |  | Shared path isn't wide enough. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134875 |  | Too close to a busy road. You have to brace when a lorry comes past. I have reported the tree roots for about 10 years. Weeds etc are creeping over and it is now only about 30 cm wide in places. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134773 |  | Westbound (uphill) on Richardson Road would benefit from a marked cycle lane. Traffic passes very close. Lots of NHS staff and others use this road to cycle commute. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134769 |  | These roundabouts (all along bypass) are very dangerous to cross. Need cycle/pedestrian crossings or an alternative safe crossing system. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134476 |  | Green Lane should be kept clear of glass and surfaced for cyclists to use safely | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134455 |  | These roundabouts (all along bypass) are very dangerous to cross. Need cycle/pedestrian crossings or an alternative safe crossing system. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134440 |  | Nettleham Road has an intermittent, poorly marked and not socially distanced cycle way. Needs improvement and to be 24/7 [Sheffield or Lincoln, probably] | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134381 |  | The speed limit on much of the A540 is 60 m.p.h., a speed regularly attained and often exceeded by some drivers. With parts of the road surface in an extremely poor condition insofar as cyclists are concerned, frequently requiring cyclists to move further into the carriageway than normal, the already significant risk due to the high speed of motorists is amplified. Apart from a better road surface overall, a separate, wide cycle lane is paramount. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134224 |  | No footpath or cycle markings to allow for safer walking and cycling. Grass verges often too over grown. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134187 |  | Bus/cycle/taxi lane cameras to protect cyclists as vehicles speed down with no regards for anyone. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134182 |  | Bus/cycle/taxi lane cameras to protect cyclists as vehicles speed down with no regards for anyone. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134181 |  | Bus/cycle/taxi lane cameras to protect cyclists as vehicles speed down with no regards for anyone. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134180 |  | Bus/cycle/taxi lane cameras to protect cyclists as vehicles speed down with no regards for anyone. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134173 |  | Bus/cycle/taxi lane cameras to protect cyclists as vehicles speed down with no regards for anyone. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134171 |  | Bus/cycle/taxi lane cameras to protect cyclists as vehicles speed down with no regards for anyone. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 134161 |  | Footway rough and not suitable for both cyclist and pedestrians. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133846 |  | Traffic light delays to cyclists - lights appear to change when cars arrive only | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133188 |  | There needs to be some kind of pathway for people commuting to and from Cotgrave and Cropwell Bishop [Nottinghamshire] | Track: Problem track |
| 133157 |  | Very fast roads with little room for cars to overtake make cycling dangerous and unpleasant! With lots of people working and living locally, better cycle routes would encourage healthier and greener living in our area. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133018 |  | When shops have customers queuing up the paths are not wide enough to go pass them safely | Track: Problem track |
| 132946 |  | It's very unsafe from the dairy down to the A46; cars drive fast and there is no lighting - a path even just one person wide may help protect cyclists, pedestrians as well as drivers of cars, lorries, tractors | Track: Problem track |
| 132852 |  | It is used by a large no of vans and cars using it as a short cut ,they drive too fast and the rd is too narrow for them, it should be a country lane that locals can walk and ride down safely. assess to this traffic needs to be controlled | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 132753 |  | The traffic is terrible. Speeding is rife. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 132407 |  | Cycle way | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 132220 |  | The field and thorny hedging is regularly overgrown forcing pedestrians to walk on the road. Especially dangerous for school children and parents with more than one child and pushchair users. The soil banking encroaches on the pavement making it impossible to walk unless in single file. | Track: Problem track |
| 132118 |  | The traffic is terrible. Speeding is rife. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 131894 |  | Cycleways should be part of the road, not the pavement. Being part of a pavement encourages cyclists to ride on normal pavements putting children and the elderly at risk. GET THEM OFF THE PAVEMENTS! | Road environment: Problem road |
| 130662 |  | Outdoor seating for the restaurants | Other: Problem general |
| 130602 |  | No bus in the city centre just people walking | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130561 |  | Pavement obstructed by private hedging permanently. Pedestrians forced to walk in single file and onto to adhere to socially distancing | Track: Problem track |
| 130439 |  | There is no provision for cyclists to get from the town centre to the cycle path apart riding a busy 2 lane road or on the pavement. Segregate a lane for cyclists. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 130170 |  | Can't walk kids to beach or into Ardglass [County Down] | Track: Problem track |
| 129997 |  | So we can safely walk our children to the beach | Track: Problem track |
| 129984 |  | Pavements can't walk children on the road | Track: Problem track |
| 129920 |  | Too many cars going through a bottleneck, not safe for cyclists, cars or people | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 129916 |  | Can’t bring children a walk to beach or shops as it way to dangerous with no foot path. | Track: Problem track |
| 129912 |  | Put footpaths in | Track: Problem track |
| 129888 |  | Pavement required | Track: Problem track |
| 129868 |  | There is no cycle way | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 129831 |  | Wider footpaths and pavements | Track: Problem track |
| 129826 |  | Wider foot paths | Track: Problem track |
| 129822 |  | When at caravan site we can't take kids to beach or a walk anywhere as there are no footpaths outside the site. We have to drive or walk without a footpath. It's unfair we cannot walk kids to the beach and enjoy a walk along the beautiful area. | Track: Problem track |
| 129373 |  | Walking and cycling to connect villages to walk or cycle to doctors, school, shops | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
