Oversight and repeat apologies in the Active Travel scheme 🚴♀️🚶♂️
Lincolnshire County Council has been told to issue a second apology over its handling of the Active Travel Scheme in Louth.
Critics argue that the scheme has made the town centre less accessible for people who struggle with mobility, including disabled people, older people, pregnant women, and new mothers. The disabled bays removed as part of the Louth Active Travel Scheme have been reinstated. | Image: LCC "We also found fault with the Council for failing to consider completing an equality assessment and for poor record keeping."It cited limitations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the inspector argued that the pandemic"should not have prevented the council from trying to liaise or seek input from any disability groups."
