New Powers To Keep Cyclists Safe

On Monday 22nd June 2020 the DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT announced that there will be new legislation introduced which will give the local authority powers to issue a £70 penalty notice specifically relating to the misuse of cycle lanes.

If you are a business owner within the local community we would suggest it may be a good practice to promote this to customers visiting your premises to avoid them receiving penalties for obstructing cycle lanes in the area.

As the date approaches you may begin to see literature appear within the area of BALSALL HEATH and SPARKBROOK where there are cycle routes and lanes present.
