Residents “threatened with police” after “surrounding” contractors installing bike hangar Brighton and Hove City Council has been accused of “misleading” the public over the incident, the latest in a growing list of hangar-related controversies cycling
that it appeared that council contractors had been advised by the local authority to contact police if people questioned what they were doing.
“I’m very afraid that this zealot-like behaviour will only alienate citizens from engaging in the process of active travel rather than govern by consensus and win support.” Lyons, who claimed that he was alone when he first approached the contractors before being joined by three neighbours, said: “‘Surrounded’ and ‘unhappy’ are quite misleading. No one was threatening, aggressive or abusive.
“I had barely gotten a word out before I was threatened with the police. The other three people will verify that, as soon as they joined me, I told them how shocked I was at what I had just been told and the email I had been shown.”
