In Gosport we have a well used and well kept cycle track along the old railway line into Gosport from the main A32.

It is a popular route and was under threat from a Rapid Transit Scheme.

Now there is an intention to build a "High Speed Bus Route" along this facility. There is a real compromise as the potential for conflict between a high speed bus and cyclists is high.

My wife has raised a No 10 Petition - If you feel inclined - could you sign.

    Is this similar to the proposal in Bristol late last year? As I recall, the CTC put a lot of effort into blocking that one.
