York Cycle Campaigners at Hob Moor CYCLING campaigners are threatening legal action over more than 30 instances where they claim the infrastructure in York is not accessible to disabled people. York Cycle Campaign has warned City of York Council they may take action against them over claims they are not complying with the Equality Act 2010 in their new report ‘Inclusive and Disabled Cycling in York’. The report lists instances such as barriers, narrow cycle lanes, and claims that the council may have to pay £50,000 for every pursued action via the small claims court if these problems are not rectified. Neil Ferris, Corporate Director of Economy and Place at City of York Council, said the council has allocated a £100,000 budget to improve accessibility and “the insight generated from the report will help us to improve accessibility for disabled cyclists.”
