Concern over 'invisible' concrete cycle lane blocks
Available for over a year
People living near a major road through the south of Leicester say it's becoming a dangerous eye-sore. Aylestone Road saw temporary cycle lanes installed during the pandemic, to encourage more people to get on a bike, to get around. Work to make the lanes permanent has seen concrete blocks installed along the road side, which some people say is difficult to see, a danger to car drivers and pedestrians, and an eyesore. Leicester City Council said similar blocks had been successfully used elsewhere in the city to protect cyclists. Âé¶¹Éç Leicester's Political Reporter Tim Parker's been speaking to local councillor Nigel Porter, and local residents, about the road layout.
