We can and should bring this type of incident to the attention of the Campus management (their roads) and to the companies to whom the motorist works for. It would be easier if we could get a number plate, I know in the heat of the moment you don’t think of that.
Also if we have two independent incidents and number plate IDs we can go to the police and get them to ‘have a word’ or issue a driving ASBO.
Don’t forget to log any incidents on the Collidescope.pe website.
Let’s identify this SAAB driver and get him to amend his ways. If you think you know who he is please contact chair@harbug.org.uk in confidence.Thanks for the feedback.
The routes for the group rides are as follows:
– Didcot on Sustrans route 544 via Upton and Hagbourne Hill. Nearly all off road apart from Upton village and Chilton Hill out of Upton for about a mile.
– Wantage / Grove via Sustrans route 544, on back roads and off road tracks.
– Abingdon via Sustrans route 5, then through Milton village, Milton Interchange, Milton Heights and the A4130.The location of the pavilion (Thomson Avenue Entrance) has been included on the posters and on the website.
We will have a look at putting more information on the website for the Bike Week Cycle to Work day in June.The meeting with the County Council is now on Monday.
I think we should give the contractor and the council the chance to finally rectify it before featuring it on ‘facility of the month’ or any further other type of publicity. I know it has hacked off, quite rightly, a lot of cyclists but essentially it is and will be a good stretch of cycle path.
I will keep you informed on what transpires on Monday.Hello,
Please find below the latest from the County Council concerning Puncture Alley. HarBUG has been invited to attend a site meeting to look at the issues with the Council, the sub-contractors and the County councillor. I will be attending and I think what we need is for all the current surface dressing to be removed and an additional layer of Tarmac on top to cover any remaining flint shards.
Anyway, thanks to everybody who sent their punture reports in, it has worked and we are not going to have to wait 4 weeks for the Council to review the remedial work.‘Dear Mr Wilkinson
Thank you for sending through the details of puncture incidents suffered on Icknield Way.
Since the remedial works were carried out on 19 January we’ve continued to receive customer reports of punctures. We have therefore instructed the Site Supervision Team to inform the sub-contractor that the remedial works have been unsuccessful and the surface dressing treatment is rejected. I have asked for the sub-contractor’s proposals to provide a suitable surface for cyclists on Icknield Way. The suitbale surface needs to be provided as an urgent priority. Temporary advisory signs will remain on the treated section of the route until the suitable surface has been provided.’
Kevin W – HarBUG Chairman.
