Safe Cycle Infra Enjoyer 😎 @rivierarider.bsky.social · 14/07/2026When compared to Wonford ward (where the route is), only 23% of the population supported this via the consulation. Looking as St. Leonards, Heavitree, Middlemoor and Wonford wards (pop. 40k), only 5.3% responded with support. Shockingly poor decision that prioritises short local car-trips. 000
