Closed cycle lane is reinstated!

Submitted by Geoff Farrell on 31 January 2017 - 9:41pm

A cycle lane that was closed in 2011 has been reinstated. The cycle contra-flow in Park Road, East Grinstead was closed while the weak railway bridge was being repaired - but the temporary bollards remained in place until 2015. The status of the road confused drivers and cyclists. Ros from Mason Close said At last! This is the one of the most useful cycle lanes in East Grinstead. For those using Worth Way with bikes laden with panniers, it avoids pushing a bike up the railway station steps. It also gives access to the Imberhorne area avoiding the A22.

Ride around the town of East Grinstead - a town choked with motor vehicles with little or no cycle infrastructure.
