A Tynemouth resident has called for better safety measures on the new cycle lane that
00:03
runs along Tynemouth's seafront. This comes after he broke his ribs off the Common Office
00:07
bike avoiding a pedestrian who stepped into the cycle lane.
00:10
The cycle lane, which was opened following the Labour Party's pledge to provide major
00:13
investment in cycling and walking in the North East, is due to run between North Shields
00:17
Fish Quay and St Mary's Lighthouse in Whitley Bay. The scheme's introduction proved controversial
00:22
after other green travel projects around the region have sparked anger and debate.
00:25
A low-traffic neighbourhood created by the previous Conservative government in Jesmond
00:29
was scrapped earlier this year after complaints. The cycle lane has been backed by North East
00:32
Mayor Kim McGuinness, who pledged the joined-up walking and cycling network in her election
00:36
manifesto as part of a whole host of promised transport upgrades.
00:40
The first phase of the seafront sustainable route, which has been criticised by Tory MPs
00:43
but backed by health and fitness experts, is open now, whilst phase two up to St Mary's
00:47
Lighthouse is expected to be completed by 2025.
00:51
The cycle lane was designed to make the roads along the coastal route safer, but the injured
00:55
resident, who suffered eight fractured ribs and a broken collarbone after the incident,
00:58
wants more to be done.
