Cycle route gets green light

After a lot of discussion councillors agreed to give the go ahead to the Redford Avenue cycling contraflow scheme at the Beddington & Wallington Local Committee.

The contraflow section will be between Link Lane and Stafford Road and the scheme which was supported by the police, cycling groups and residents at the meeting will be paid for by Transport for London.

The new route is included in a new cycle network that will make cycling between Roundshaw and Wallington easier in future. Councillors were told that TfL have also agreed to fund an extension of the scheme through Mellows Park.
