A spokesman for the council said: "To prevent any confusion the cycle
lane should always be the one closest to the hedge."

I suppose that's good for keeping bikes out of the car door zone, but
what about the house door zone (I'm thinking more of pedestrians than
doors)? And surely it's against normal practice to have the cycle lane
on that side?

To say nothing of the cars coming out of drives hidden by the hedge zone.

What he actually said was:

I think he meant "To prevent any confusion the cycle
lane should always be the one obstructed by the hedge."
