Stop the proposed cycle lane on Stamfordham road

Yvonne Grey

They have cut down huge amount of trees for unwanted cycle lane near us costing millions..

Claire Smith

We don’t need a cycle lane in Westerhope but we need our trees, stop ruining our environment and leave the trees where they belong!

Lisa Kay

Natural is so important for our mental wellbeing

Iain Grant

Unnecessary and trees should be preserved

Michael Thompson

Should not destroy the beauty and habitat the trees provide. Cyclists use other less routes.

Neil Wilson

Waste of time, open slip road onto a69 would be of better use, to much congestion already

Ian Pringle

Cycle path not required but an alternative route for traffic from the new build abominations certainly is. Keep Westerhope green.

Martin Gray

There s to many trees already being cut down dont think i cycle lane is needed yep prune the trees and tidy the area up

Gordon Gregson

Westerhope will lose that village feeling and it’s a rare sight to see a cyclist

Ian Twizell

It’s a massive disgrace to destroy all those trees that have taken years to give the village its appeal and I thought we needed more trees for the gasses etc and has a survey of no of bikes per day that use that rd

Jeffrey Wood

Trees should be kept not chopped down they provide homes for wildlife and good for the environment.

MIRIAM BAGNALL

Trees are important for wildlife and our environment.

Julie Philipson

These trees have been here as long as I can remember. They are good for the environment, animals and for one they are pretty and a sense of what this stretch of westerhope has always been. Cyclists are able to ride on the road, the Highway Code needs to be adhered to by drivers. And realistically how many cyclists will use an extortionate cost of tarmac. There is no need for the waste or the cycle lane.

Trees are so much better for the environment than more roads which will be used very infrequently.

Linda Sharpe

I have lived in westerhope for 30 years and the amount of cycles I have counted would struggle to fill both hands. It is a pointless undertaking as the cycle lanes in benwell have caused problems with traffic on road and very few cycles use this path. I am a mobility scooter user and use the path with no problems. This will completely destroy the look of westerhope and be completely pointless. There are very few areas that are as pretty as westerhope. Please don't change it.

Alan Mardghum

Madness! Waste of money . Use the money for pothole repairs!

Brian Scott

Don't need cycle paths

Supporter

The trees are beautifull & cycleways aren't used enough.

Christopher Goulding

Chopping trees down to make way for cyclists is madness.

Supporter

We need to keep trees for their environmental benefits, not destroy them!
