Cycle Lane Wands Blocking Driveways Face Removal Demands

Okay, so some wands on Wimborne Road got taken out. Folks living there were really mad about them blocking the road. Andy Hadley said the wands are there because cars are big now. He also said they changed the wand design.

This change helps stop water from flooding gardens. People keep parking inside the wands. Hadley said parking on the cycleway is illegal. He thinks wands are vital to protect kids. Council officers will think about using them in the future.

Gavin Wright is a Poole councillor. He has some questions about deliveries. Wright wants to know where delivery vehicles should stop on the road. The wands make it hard to deliver packages safely. The road is too tight for stopping.

Can delivery trucks use the cycle lane? Big lorries can’t fit through the wands anyway. Should they just block the road? This is hard for building stuff. Cranes on lorries cannot reach over the lane.

Wright thinks the wands weren’t well planned at all. He wants them gone. He suggests lines instead. Hadley said he will reply later consulting with council officers. The wands work is part of a big fund for city changes. It joins Merley to Poole center.
