Shadow transport secretary Maria Eagle said: "No amount of cynical spin from
David Cameron will make up for the fact that, immediately on taking office, he
axed Cycle England, the Cycle Demonstration Towns scheme and the annual £60m
budget to support cycling that he inherited.
"Since then he has axed targets to reduce deaths and serious injuries on our
roads, reduced traffic enforcement, cut the THINK! awareness campaign and
allowed longer HGVs.
"Only last month the prime minister set out plans for Britain's roads that
failed to include a single commitment to the investment in separated cycling
infrastructure that is the best way to boost cycling and make it safer."
