Hung TRO's

Got a TRO through for Convent Walk (back of the old Glossop Rd baths) introducing a formal prohibition of driving. This is because the council is worried about people using it to get round the bus gate enforcement on Glossop Rd. I've asked for an exemption for cyclists. Workmen were putting up new signs when I arrived for work this morning so it looks as though enforcement is about to start. When it does cyclesheffield will organise a meet on the corner of Glossop Rd & Upper Hanover Way to monitor the situation.

Most of the TRO's I'm currently getting refer to keeping parked cars clear of junctions and bus "hot spots" I'm letting these go through "on the nod" as they generally benefit cyclists as well.

Yes, let's have some enforcement! From my trip home from work I currently see so many cars using this bus gate that if they were all fined £50 we could pay off the Greek deficit.
