Cycling campaign's bus-stop concerns come as First Bus says it listens

A day after First Bus pledged to act on community feedback, Bristol Cycling Campaign's A4 consultation response points to bus-stop details that could block the route.

First Bus said it has been listening to communities and making changes for the better [1]. Bristol Cycling Campaign's response to the A4 Bath-to-Bristol Keynsham Bypass consultation supports the 3.45km segregated path and the speed reduction from 70mph to 40mph, but raises concerns about the last hundred metres at each end, a barrier on the only new cycle way from Keynsham, and the detail at bus stops and crossings [2][4]. Swindon Borough Council launched a campaign asking people who smoke in Swindon what they would miss, to help them quit [3].
