BBC says this is "just following the law". Maybe the Labour party should figure out who's running this country and nicely ask them to change the law? www.bbc.com/news/article...
No, if both sides hate you for completely different reasons that doesn't mean you're doing something right. The left opposes the BBC's institutional bigotry and inability to meaningfully challenge the government of the day (and a future Reform government, apparently).

The risk is like 1 in 10,000, which is fully disclosed in the vaccine information. And I really don't think we can indulge anti-vaccine arguments such as yours, when our kids didn't give informed consent to be repeatedly infected with this disease. They didn't consent to long COVID.

Who should we be contacting about this? Is there an appeals process for a TTRO? This is an unreasonable amount of time to close the path, and the diversion route is unsafe and inadequate.

There are so many ways to improve this scheme, which is really beneficial to commuters and families but also a giant handout to Halfords at the expense of local bike shops.
Instead they've gone culture war, apparently their only move.

I mean, sure, but the Orchard Brae route will also cost a lot more and we really have no idea what it would take to ensure the Dean Bridge is structurally able to carry trams. There are multiple arguments in play here.

It's the best compromise though. Going double track would force cyclists to exit the path and share space with cars, which is a real step backwards. It would also mean a much more unpleasant experience for people walking/wheeling due to the narrow path beside the tram line.
