It's always worth quoting this research:

While it's not specifically about filtering, filtering works towards the sort of more favourable conditions described in the study and currently being enjoyed by residents.

Oh hai, yeah, that was me. I heard the shout but could only see random looking cyclists riding away at speed so wondered if I was going bonkers.
Also loving Wightman Road at the moment - I wonder if the local residents, who I imagine were up in arms about it being closed, are having a change of heart yet. As I pootled up there in the sun, watching the postman stroking a local cat in the middle of the road and two old ladies chatting from their opposing gardens sipping cups of tea - I could scarcely believe it was same faceless, ferocious rat-run I lived next door to for so long.
