Department for Transport shut down calls for road closures, ‘school streets’ and new cycle lanes to be scrapped

WELL DONE DfT.
QUOTE:
The Department for Transport has rejected calls to reverse temporary traffic measures such as road closures and new bike lanes brought in during lockdown to reduce crowding.

The petition claims: "Although well intentioned, the experiment has failed. Government guidance supporting such measures, and funds for them, should be withdrawn immediately."

Thankfully the Department for Transport's reply (link is external)was strong in its support for these schemes and offered a comprehensive explanation for why such measures should remain.
