Nottingham Council Traffic Department pro cyclists gone mad
Discussion
Years back a single mate who had bought his first house needed to take in lodgers, mortgage interest rates being what they were then.
One of his lodgers was a junior Nottingham planner, and over a few months met a few of his colleagues at parties and so on.
In respect of road planning, complete anti car arses, every single one. See things haven't changed.

Is misfeasance in public office an offence?One of his lodgers was a junior Nottingham planner, and over a few months met a few of his colleagues at parties and so on.

What an utter, moronic shambles. How on earth has this even been allowed to happen in the first place?

By allowing the roads to be used for storage of property instead of for transportation?http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshi...

This Abbey Bridge post mention is interesting because lets all not forget that the chief
ideologist cycling pro is John Bann and his merry men have dropped a clanger re the cycle track
combined footpath is going to be moved to the other side of the road as it has been complained about by the residents! A spokesman of which there are many unnamed secret service personel
at the Road Safety department of the Nottingham Traffic Department has stated that this alteration will not come from the rates but is being paid for by the £6. + million given to this group of ladies and gentlemen to fund their ridiculous ideas..... How on earth can this happen when there are far more important and needed works that need doing.
I saw a statement in the press on the internet that Mr Bann has moved from Sheffield where he designed what the writer said was the most dangerous cycle track in the country. Someone with cocum has removed that track he designed so there must have been errors within that
project... The alterations will start 15 Jan 2018 but the council are dishing out apologies for the disruption but in private they are p-ssing themselves with laughing because their jobs are safe as houses. If they really were sorry they would have sorted the crap sequencing of the tram traffic lights Wilkinson St which makes drivers sit there whenever a tram is within 100 yards of Vernon Road....... Any switching of lights can be programmed at will & yet they say that is not possible. That man who said that is a liar......
A long time ago Jeremy Clarkson found councils out that they were sequencing traffic lights to hold drivers up and give them hassle at all costs.

You've made no mention of the issues of cars parking on the road. Is that not why the cycle lane is to be changed? Is there an issue here where the council is going to spend a sideologist cycling pro is John Bann and his merry men have dropped a clanger re the cycle track

t load of money so that people can go back to using the road as their own parking spaces, without paying for those parking spaces?All I know is that money is going to be spent re the BBC article that all readers can see.
I realize that the subject is off topic apart from the fact that the council is very able to make big mistakes but quite how they get away with their antics is beyond comprehension..
The Abbey bridge saga does not come near the Middleton Boulevard alterations to junctions that were forced onto the residents here. These stupid junctions with the inherent dangers built into them remain unaltered and I am told it may well take a petition as well as other formal actions before common sense will prevail and all junction users have equal responsibilities again as they were since 1927. Other road alterations that have been carried out with the cycle track has caused quite a test for drivers to be able to keep to their side of the white lines when tuning into the drives off Middleton Bvd.......
The council like that situation and deem it to be 'traffic calming'. That is pure Bull shine. The roads off the ring road are 14ft 6in wide and that alone causes drivers to go very slowly in any case........ The council operatives are obviously oblivious to those facts or is it their hate for drivers that is the issue?

Nottingham Council no longer looking at complaints on FIX MY STREET. It was an excellent way of bringing problems to the council publicly....... They don't like that! I saw three cyclists on the massive cycle lane which has destroyed Castle Boulevard which was one of the few decent roads in Nottingham going to and from the City Center........... It would not surprise me at all if a lorry hits a tree on that road because there is hardly any room for them on the road which has been made far too narrow. Who are these people who are supposed to be road safety experts.
One of the 'leading lights' designed a cycle track in Sheffield that was deemed to be the most dangerous ever..... It does not exist now but I'm surprised the 'give way to cycles' on all the junctions on the Nottingham Ring Road that he had a big hand in designing, have not been
removed due to all of them being stupid.
