@HgateAdvertiser is this a cycle lane and the Stray or a car park on the road and a car park off the road?
If you put the cycle lanes back, people will just use it to park their cars . This is by the Stray on Outlands Drive

@DominicCumins why couldn’t you have worked remotely like millions of others? And did you think govt couldn’t function without you? Are you a bit (or a lot) of a control freak? It does sound like it.

Ebikes are the future. Ride mine in the Yorkshire Dales several times a week. Best money I ever spent. Struggle to do 20 miles nowadays on road bike, can sail along for 60, 70 no problem on ebike. (Not during lockdown obvs). Extra power&weight means take extra care.
Great to hear you’ve joined the club Gareth. It replaces a car, all those journeys saving petrol , money, pollution and time, keeping you fit and feeling good. Spread the love! Join fellow ebiker commenters @manda_c_barrett @loose85 @JoMaher8 @sandicarman @stevehaake @jezmccole

Many towns and cities are trying out inexpensive ā€˜frugal innovations’ to promote cycling and walking while traffic is low. What is highways authority trying out in NYorks? Any temporary cycle lanes, lower speed limits, any changes or new ideas at all?

New sign this week at Bilton Lane entrance to Greenway. ā€˜Sustrans Nidderdale Greenway. National Cycle Network Route 67’.
It’s 20 on Pannal Ash Road past Rossett High. Andrew Jones MP supports 20 limit outside schools. I agree but in my view 20 is plenty on all urban roads, as Sustrans say. ALL speed limits should be cut during the pandemic to reduce accidents and free up NHS resources.

Agree. Anyone else think the local plan sells Harrogate district down the river? A developer’s dream. What happened to planning for sustainability? Energy efficient buildings, minimising car use, encouraging public transport, cycling and walking?
Replying to @thestrayferret
In fact, let's start with the local plan. It's time it was properly scrutinised.
