"Ealing Cycling Campaign has finally won its campaign to prevent McDonald’s running an access road across the proposed Cycle Superhighway on the A40. The issue has taken hundreds of hours of campaign work stretching over two years, as McDonald's took the case first to a public inquiry and then to the High Court. The restaurant chain finally withdrew its appeal last week. The access road, to a new drive-through restaurant at Gipsy Corner, would have put cyclists at risks of being side-swiped by vehicles turning left off the A40 and crossing the planned new cycle path. The restaurant will still go ahead, but with access via Leamington Park - a solution we suggested two years ago."
