A disabled cyclist has accused Stockport council of trying to ‘worm its way out’ of ensuring all walking and cycling routes are accessible to people with mobility issues.
The authority is currently consulting on a draft ‘access control’ policy following new government guidance on designing ‘high quality, safe cycle infrastructure’.
The plan includes using measures such as chicanes, bollards and barriers to combat anti-social behaviour on some routes - particularly from those using off-road bikes or mopeds.
