    Mayor’s knickers in twist over cycle lanes

    • 31 Mar 2011
    • Eye of the Fish
    • It’s not unusual for mayoral cycling fanatic Celia Wade-Brown to advocate for cycle lanes. While her recent support for road building has caused some among us to query her how green her credentials are – one thing for certain is that if there’s a road to be built there’ll be cycle lanes attached to it.
