I'm sat, looking at data... evidence of what makes a safe junction and what does not. I've found out that major works are about to occur on a junction near to where I live, a junction that although very unpleasant to negotiate, has a better safety record than many junctions.My local politicians have no say in the junction changes that are about to occur because the funding comes from the Welsh Government - which is the Welsh civil service, not the elected Assembly. I'm looking at a design of a junction that will kill people, maybe me, maybe my Mum... I've questioned the highways department and received the following reply:There has been no consultation with individual cycling clubs in respect of the proposed highway safety improvements however Sustrans has been consulted during the development of the scheme.Recently I also challanged the council as to why there is no footpath along a busy stretch of road linking a large village and the major town a short distance away. I've been told that after consultation with Sustrans, cycle lanes on the road between the major town and Cardiff Airport are the priority! This despite a number of serious accidents on the stretch of road where there is no footpath, including fatalities - on one occasion a child's a pony and on a second occasion a young mother who was walking in the gutter...I do not want any more fatalities, but with Sustrans active in Wales, I'm looking at an increase in death on local roads. I am seeking (almost to the point of harassing) information from the council using Freedom of Information Act and continue to uncover evidence that roads being made more dangerous.However, all my efforts are being undermined by Sustrans!!!!!!!!!!!How do we as individuals, a community, and academics use our better thinking and knowledge to counter Sustrans - or to change Sustrans?Ian
