Café blames "pointless" bike lane "destroying" business

Café owner claims "pointless" cycle lane "destroying" business as lost parking spaces mean customers of 10 years "won't turn around any more", but council points out safe and attractive streets "boost economic activity"

"We objected to it right from the word go – as soon as they sent us the plans and we looked at them and saw a cycle lane. We objected to it straight away," he said."No-one came round to chat with us – for us to actually have the opportunity to explain that this is this is why we're not happy with it. Everything that we kind of predicted has happened but I didn't realise the full extent or the full impact of what was going to happen.

"We are essentially an old-fashioned sort of builders destination. Everyone's welcome but we do rely on builders coming in. They have always been able to find somewhere to park and spend the best part of 20 quid each. Now we don't get any of that at all. It's all gone and these are customers that we've had a rapport with for ten years. In some cases they've actually said to us I'm really sorry, but we won't turn around any more. It's a shame.

"We have worked positively with local residents and businesses to understand their requirements. We have tried to mitigate and or reduce any loss of parking as part of the scheme by re-providing some spaces a short distance away. Ultimately, it will, the council says, transform Railway Approach into a"welcoming and vibrant gateway" to the town and offer a"vastly improved arrival experience".

Back in 2021, the owner of a Bath-based burger bar claimed a bike lane outside his business would"decimate" takings.
