Cyclists should just get off and push at this @ategov.bsky.social @bricycle.bsky.social funded scheme says N Yorkshire Council Corporate Director harrogatecycleaction.org.uk/2025/07/31/g....

It is now 1,012 days since North Yorkshire Council removed the Beech Grove modal filters, promising an alternative scheme to make cycling safe there. It is safe to say that promise was dishonest, as they have not lifted a finger in the 3 years since.

A proper crossing of Wetherby Rd for Slingsby Walk has been talked about by N Yorks Council for 10 years, but has not been delivered. When will it be put in place? Because in the meantime people who want to cross the road have to rely on the kindness of strangers.

It's now 857 days since North Yorkshire Council ripped out the Beech Grove modal filters, promising an alternative scheme - an alternative which has never materialised. This irresponsible council repeatedly fails to do the right thing.

One of the ways North Yorkshire Council lets down its residents is by making those on foot or on bikes wait a very long time at crossings.
