Nick - what's this - no lobbying!
Come off it. You wanted us to lobby for Sustrans' ranger programme.

You have the Council document which gives a whole list of central
streets they propose to ban cycling on during the day. Why not post
the list on the website? Then all can see it's not just about Queen
Street - and not just me who "feels strongly" about it.

And on what basis does John go to Liaison meetings with the Council
if he can't say what group members think of this proposed ban?

Best wishes
