“Those are definitely middle aisle bike stands”: Cyclists raise security fears after discovering that new cycle stands at Aldi entrance can be lifted out of the ground Work to fix the bike stands in place was completed this morning, Aldi says cycling
To cross over from Long Lane to William Frost Way, where the shop will open on 6 July, cyclists have to dismount and cross a 1.5-metre-wide footpath on the bridge over A47, next to a three-lane road with heavy traffic.
Derek Williams from the Norwich Cycling Campaign told road.cc: “The whole thing is really dangerous. There’s a school and a college nearby, this area is supposed to be a safe route for children and teenagers. But the council didn’t do any investigations, no public consultations.” Even though a crossing on William Frost Way was agreed during the planning process, it is still absent just a week before the supermarket opens its doors, with Williams arguing that Aldi is “trying to avoid their obligation” to build it.
An Aldi spokesperson told road.cc: “We are looking forward to opening our new store on July 6, and are working with both the local authority and the developer of a local housing scheme to jointly deliver the new crossing on William Frost Way as soon as possible.”We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
