Traffic Regulation Order review for Worcester city centre roads
Bike Worcester takes Cllr Alan Amos to task for his outdated and ill-informed views on cycling in Worcester city centre. Amos, who opposes allowing cycling in pedestrianised zones, demonstrates a lack of understanding of both the challenges cyclists face and the potential benefits of increased cycling infrastructure. Bike Worcester advocates for a review of the current Traffic Regulation Orders, arguing that safe and direct cycling routes through the city centre are essential for promoting active travel and reducing reliance on cars.
Between gutter Amos and a broken bridge, can county rise above it?
The Powick Old Bridge collapse revealed a mixed bag for Worcester's active travel scene. While the Highways department impressed with its quick action to create safe alternatives for cyclists and pedestrians, Cllr Amos emerged with the same tired anti-cycling rhetoric. We investigate the ongoing struggle between a forward-thinking approach and outdated attitudes, as Worcester navigates its way towards a more bike-friendly future.
Close Pass Map
Worcester cyclists are taking safety into their own hands by mapping close calls and dangerous driving incidents. Through West Mercia's Operation Snap portal, they're reporting these incidents and providing valuable data to identify high-risk areas. This information will be used to advocate for road safety improvements and encourage safer driving behaviour around cyclists. Check out the Close Pass Map and learn how you can contribute to making Worcester's roads safer for everyone.
Worcester City Council meeting, and Councillor Amos is asking questions about bikes!
Worcester's cycling community is buzzing with activity, but also facing some obstacles. New bike buses are popping up at schools, offering a safe and fun way for kids to get to school. Meanwhile, cyclists are mapping close calls with drivers to advocate for safer roads. On the flip side, a key cycling route has been disrupted by a bridge collapse, and Alan Amos continues to voice opposition to cycling in the city centre.
