Mud on Francis Crick Avenue
There's been a ridiculous amount of mud on Francis Crick Avenue this year. It's been particularly bad recently and is obviously from the various building sites.

There's been a ridiculous amount of mud on Francis Crick Avenue this year. It's been particularly bad recently and is obviously from the various building sites.
The Perse school headmaster is attacking families who don't subscribe to the cult of hiviz and helmets. There's national implications. I think Camcycle is going to have to respond, in correspondence with affected parents. Do we have any as members?
Quote from road.cc:
“Everyone who cycles to school must wear high-visibility clothing, correctly fitted cycle helmets, they must have working front and rear lights, brakes and pedal reflectors,” Elliott told the Times.
From the Times:
A leading school is getting tough on pupils who cycle dangerously — and urging others to follow its lead
Ed Elliott, headmaster at the £17,000-a-year Perse School in Cambridge, has drawn up strict rules specifying what pupils must wear while cycling, as well as the condition in which they need to keep their bikes to ensure they are roadworthy.
Breaking the regulations means a stiff letter home to parents and — for a repeat offence — a one-hour detention.
Teachers report pupils’ reckless cycling, and Elliott and his staff carry out spot checks on the bikes and clothing.

This extension proposal (which happens to adjoin our property but which we were not consulted on) adds a 4th flat and an extra bedroom to one flat in a property where currently cycle parking is only available in the back yard, most of which would be covered by the new flat. The plans show two cycle parking spaces in the tiny bit of yard left which is woefully inadequate for 4 flats. There isn't even enough room in the yard for the bins required for 4 flats either and certainly no space for extra cycles. So I'm surpised the committee haven't already picked this up.

The link from Barton Road to the Lammas Land car park (and the car park itself) have been closed to all use by the County Council for some development work. This is a buisy cycle route, and no effort has been put into providing a diversion. Currently most people are cycling across the grass behind the hedge beside the road (though how long this will remain possible if it rains is unclear); an alternative is to use other paths across Lammas Land, but they are narrow, not actually marked for cycling, and it's further.
According to a notice at the junction with Barton Road this work will continue to the start of December. There was and is no warning when approaching from east of the river.
