The funding will deliver projects in the city that include a School Street at Bassett Green School, which will see the road closed to through traffic at drop off and pick up times. This will provide a safer environment for school children and help those
who are able to walk, cycle or scoot to school.

In addition, Honeysuckle Road will see a new raised table and buildouts which will encourage drivers to reduce their speed, creating a safer and healthier place for everyone.

Other projects benefitting from the new funding include improved safer routes to five local schools:

Freemantle C of E Community Academy
Springhill Catholic Primary School
Hightown Primary School
Beechwood Junior School
Glenfield Infant School

Additional funding has also been approved for Bitterne Road East; a cycle scheme forming part of Southampton Cycle Network (SCN) route two from West End to the City Centre. This enables the council to progress with the project along Bitterne Road East
from Somerset Avenue to Bitterne District Centre. Works are programmed to start from Summer 2023.

Councillor Eamonn Keogh, Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport comments:

“Making the Southampton active travel network accessible for all is a top priority. We want everyone to be able to travel around Southampton easily; these active travel improvements will make it safer for children and their families on their journeys
to and from local schools by bike or foot. They will also create a more pleasant route for pedestrians, whilst actively encouraging vehicles to adhere to the speed limit. I urge people to take part in the upcoming consultations and share their views.

Why didn't you use a green font as well?

If you like, I can post a link to gammon products, including swivels.

Rather in the manner of Lycra Louts dominating pavements and pedestrian precincts. Where are the health benefits of cycling? The Dutch die from the same diseases in the same proportion as the lardarse Brits.

I’m sure you must have a point, perhaps you might let the group know what
it is.

The impossible and most impressive task would be to get chavs on bikes
(you know, people like you) to obey traffic lights and the rule about
not riding chav-bikes on footways.

Drivers always say that it's "impossible" to drive at 20mph anyway.
