A national cycling campaigner has urged The Humber Bridge Board to reopen the footpath and install safety measures to prevent deaths.
Safety nets and increasing the height of the parapet could help cut the toll of suicides from the bridge, according to Duncan Dollimore of Cycling UK.
Features Sneak Peek: April 10, 2021 Issue

Welcome to this week’s “Friend” sneak peek!
Kicking off our brand new issue, beloved travel writer Willie Shand explores the area around Loch Gynack in the Cairngorms National Park.
Kingussie’s memorial gardens are bursting with bright and colourful begonias, and there are plenty of walks to enjoy in these parts.
We will meander past the area’s 18-hole golf course, and enjoy fabulous views of the River Spey.
This is just the place to keep an eye open for birds like red or black grouse, curlews, snipe, merlin and even golden eagles!
More than half of local authorities in Britain have seen their budget for road maintenance fall in real terms over the past five years, according to research published today by Cycling UK.
Out of 82 local authorities that responded to Cycling UK’s Freedom of Information requests, just six stated that they repaired 100% of reported potholes within their self-imposed target times over the past five years. One third of councils (27) met their targets less than 75% of the time. The worst performing council was Bristol, which met its target time on just 15% of repairs. Cumbria, West Lothian and Renfrewshire also filled less than half of identified potholes on time.
