🗣'How about instead of 'intending' to do a consultation, you get on with it? Give people the chance to have their say and actually deliver for cyclists across the city.'

THERE’S not a day goes by when I don’t see one example or another of a totally selfish driver who has dumped their car where it shouldn’t be.

And this is what a DfI spokesperson said: “During the Covid pandemic, the Department introduced a number of pop-up cycle lanes along Dublin Road, Marcus Ward Street, Hardcastle Street and Bankmore Street. “It is however an offence for vehicles to park in a way that causes obstruction or danger to other road users, including obstruction of footways and cycle tracks. Such instances should be reported to PSNI on their non-emergency number 101, who have the authority to issue Fixed Penalty Notices.”

People are sick to the back teeth of buck passing when it comes to these things. They want action, not more excuses and it’s time DfI started to deliver instead of hiding behind the police, who incidentally told us it’s down to DfI to ticket these cars.
