ALAN Turner states the cycleway planned for Weyhill Road is an accident waiting to happen. The accident has already happened, without a cyclepath, around the corner in Millway Road.
I watched as a “wired for sound” youth, deaf to the outside world, appeared from nowhere and rocketed down Millway Road as my near neighbours edged slowly out of their driveway.
The speedy but unseen youth, squatting down on his low-seated bike with knees up round his ears, met the car with such velocity he was propelled into orbit and landed on his head.
I have no doubt that the misguided decision-maker, Councillor Woodward, will have blood on his hands once this blight is in place thus encouraging even more such incidents.
