#klwnbug — Public Fediverse posts

#klwnbug now at #WestNorfolk council meeting asking a public question. Live stream on https://www.youtube.com/user/WestNorfolkBC

Cycling won. The cycle hub was refused permission, primarily due to not being near any cycle route yet built. We told them to build the routes first. Repeatedly. Why won't the councils listen to us?

Also, I'm astounded someone said "I'm a cyclist myself" before arguing against the cycling campaign. Don't they know that meme?

Soon, in the bizarre situation of a #cycling campaign objecting to a cycle hub.

Multi-million transport funding deal will ‘make town a more attractive place’

Yes, this is brilliant, at long last connecting active travel from North End and North Lynn directly along Railway Road to The Walks, the stations and the new library by remodelling the A148 and replacing some underused pavement, two or three parking spaces and an underused fourth northbound lane.

I updated several Discussion threads for King's Lynn and West Norfolk Bike Users Group on #Cyclescape following yesterday's meeting but there's still more to do when I have time. Any help welcome.

#KLWNBUG #PlanningApplication #2400608O outline for 5 flats in South Lynn approved because apparently making everyone do 3 sides of a rectangle, incl 2 on roads without pavements, to access shops is acceptable if it's a small distance and National Planning Policy Framework paragraph 117 "give priority first to pedestrian and cycle movements, both within the scheme and with neighbouring areas; and [...] minimise the scope for conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles" can get stuffed!

#2400622FM was amended after #KLWNBUG comments to have good #cycleparking and then approved, but now it looks like it won't be built soon: Former GP surgery can become community hub and food bank

28 Jan Pedal and Chat Called Off | #KLWNBUG - The Norfolk & Fens Cycling Campaign – https://www.klwnbug.co.uk/2025/01/28/28-jan-pedal-and-chat-called-off/

@ascentale @pete A6. Earliest photo on this device is from a protest trying to keep part of #NCN1 in #kingsLynn closed to private motorists (the bollards are now disused but numberplate cameras are installed instead, so win! For now...). Most recent is riding home through #theWalks in winter sunshine, just before I unexpectedly met a friend from #KLWNBUG coming the other way after his longest ride in years, to the next town south and back.

@ascentale @uxmark @meganL @bikeottawa @DavidTrueman A2. I'm here from #KLWNBUG in the fens, England. 👋

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2402270F #Hardwick #Aldi replaces the planned #Lidl and it's OK but still not up to current #cycleparking standards: no priority entrance and further from the door than some regular car parking. I'll ask #KLWNBUG to remind them.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401969FM #NorthLynn almost there! The #Norfolk Parking Standards require the #cycleparking racks to be nearer the door than regular car spaces, not dumped on the far side by a substation, and for foot/cycle access to have priority over cars. I'll ask #KLWNBUG to remind them.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401497F #kingsLynn Two more flats, #cycleparking for 4 or 6 bikes, but it's up a flight of external stairs. Is that good enough, #KLWNBUG ?

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #kingsLynn #2401638F The former #Hoopers army surplus shop in Albion St to become 3 flats but no #cycleParking shown. I'll suggest #KLWNBUG objects. https://online.west-norfolk.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=SJM7TSIVLNH00

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401678F #kingsLynn Flats with plenty of #cycleParking but not sure there's a gate across it. Is that good enough, #KLWNBUG? https://online.west-norfolk.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=SJZ6EEIVJPS00

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401914F #Emneth service station with much bigger shop yet still no #cycleParking (or access from #space4cycling but there are other properties in the way). I'll suggest #KLWNBUG requests parking.

#Norfolk #PlanningApplication #FUL20240045 #kingsLynn #Library - It has some #cycleParking (more than the old library which has none) but is it enough? Is it as much as #KLWNBUG hoped?

#2100152RMM #WestNorfolk #planningApplication #conditionDischarge for the major estate at #DenverHill - really don't think this cycleway to London Road should be split if so narrow and if it is, that tactile paving should be flat-top not corduroy and between straights 1.2m each side to avoid being a skid hazard. #KLWNBUG

#WestNorfolk #planningApplication #2401488F is another industrial unit in #kingslynn with a plan of rectangles and no #cycleparking

#KLWNBUG

#2401550RMM #WestNorfolk #planningApplication #Gayton estate with "footpath" link and cobbles across the entrance road. Either upgrade to cycleway or remove the setts. #KLWNBUG

#2401582F #WestNorfolk #planningApplication #Saddlebow new industrial building with no #cycleparking - no plan this time because it is basically rectangles and we're interested in something not there. #KLWNBUG
