PARENTS’ worst nightmare – a cycling route to be created between The Broadway roundabout and Yeomans Way at Castlepoint.

Buses turning out of bus stops into cycle lanes will be very dangerous and will have blind spots in mirrors, then have to be extra careful to filter into the main road.

HGVs will take up most of the road and down draft of wind could make cyclists very unsteady when you might be only two feet away from them.

This area has been chosen because of the large number of school pupils that travel through there to Bournemouth’s two grammar schools. All to get more children to cycle to school.

What are these council officers thinking about?

Cyclists alongside cars, vans, buses and HGVs. They do not go together. Cyclists and pedestrians are a far safer mix.
