It Cost Bromley Council £673,000 On A Cycle Lane And Road Works That No One Wanted Or Used,

and then to make matters worse spent a further £77,000 to resolve the issue and widen the road, 


photographs Joe Coughlan, but it is still here! and no one wants to take the blame, Gabi Paplauskaite, 20, said she previously used the cycle lane for her job, but has not seen anyone on it since the pole appeared, Ms Paplauskaite told the LDRS: “It’s probably not the safest idea… To be honest, I think it was a waste because they did it two years ago or something and they’ve redone it and it looks exactly the same.”

Openreach is reportedly responsible for the utility pole on the path. A spokesperson for the company told the LDRS: “Our pole was in place before the cycle lane was created; we’re working with the council to make sure it’s safely relocated.” Bromley Council said in a comment on FixMyStreet on October 24 that the issue was being investigated. The council and TfL were approached for comment, but had not responded at the time of publication, for the full article have a look here, it is nice to know where the council tax we have to pay for every year is going, I just wish Bromley council would not waste our money on vanity projects like this that nobody uses.
