The New Town and Broughton Community Council objects to the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (21/28A) and in particular the changes introduced on London Road between its junctions with Easter Road and Blenheim Place. In summary, the NTBCC considers that the temporary cycle path does not meet its objectives to enhance safety for cyclists, has a number of adverse consequences for traffic management in adjoining streets and does not meet the expected standards of public realm in the World Heritage Site.
