Any one know who I can contact concerning the amount of cyclists and motorcycles riding on pavements rather than follow division. Twice this week I?ve been confronted dangerously by them, , especially ones coming round corner on Adys rd onto Oglander. More kids are going to be about next week with schools back , I fear a accident will happen . I?m that angry my arm will definitely be going out next time and I?ll knock them of bike , makes my blood boil .Deliveroo drivers one of main culprits 😩

The closest shaves I?ve had on a bike have been with other cyclists, usually cycling much, much faster than me and sweeping past without warning. Very similar mentality to certain types of motorist, seeing an opportunity to overtake and going for the gap.


I also remember one of the more vociferous pro cyclists who used to come on here (and once CPZ was forced through completely disappeared) did not want mobility vehicles in cycle lanes because he said they would slow cycling speeds (his cycling speed).

Traffic seems to be much worst in ED and motorists and cyclists are behaving really badly - riding on the pavements, speeding etc. I live on LL so used to cars etc but since the lockdown restrictions were loosened it's been a nightmare. Not sure if this is because more people use cars or /and because of the road closures.


Try to contact your councillor (?). Also, there is a petition to end the road closures in ED:

Twinhunters have you tried contacting Deliveroo - Twitter and Facebook seem to get their attention. Also maybe mention it to any local businesses that use Deliveroo. If it could affect income / custom they might do something.


Also is there a contact for the works. They might have suggestions if they?ve had this on other works.

Same happened to me this afternoon - was a moped with the rider eating a sandwich while riding.


At the moment, the kerb looks like Oglander Road will curve around into Adys Road, with the bit down towards Maxted Road being closed off. Might just be a temporary measure though.

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
