“This is a tradition, and it is unforgivable the council will not make exceptions for the sake of cyclists” Cycle lane running through Christmas market forces organiser to step down over “safety fears for cyclists and pedestrians” cycling

Rahimi, meanwhile, added that the local authority’s stance on the bike lane was “unreasonable” and that it “prioritised cyclists over small businesses”. “Although an alternative route via St Michael’s Street was provided last year during the Christmas Market, that option is not viable this year.

“Both the City and County councils had continued to engage Ms Rahimi, as she was the preferred provider, and we are keen to get moving with the planning for this year’s event as soon as possible.
