So several times a week there are HGV's parked in the cycle path that runs along Rodney Road in SE1 going into the re-development of the Aylesbury aka Elephant Park (puke) Once again, HGV parked up this am.
This cycle path is part of a quieter/safer promoted by pass of Elephant roundabouts and Rodney Road is getting increasingly busy with all of the building sites around Elephant.
When Lend Lease started re-developing the site they had a big fancy cycle marking and Dr Bike and free coffee type event to let cyclists know what was happening and how they almost definately wouldn't be trying to kill anyone with the lorries going to and from the site.
Have flagged this a number of times to Lend Lease who manage the site and Southwark Cyclists branch of LCC via the old twitters but not so much of a response from either of these orgs.
Before I go any higher...is this the sort of thing Roadsafe deal with? Also, are Lend Lease actually breaking any laws parking in cycle paths (that have a solid white line)
Surely if they are part of that FORS accreditation thing, they are told to stay the f**k out of cycle paths, right??
