Infrastructure & Pot Holes
Road and cycling infrastructure and the plague that is pot holes, are tandem campaigns underpinning Our Vision. Camerideri aims to highlight to and engage with local authorities over poor and ill conceived road infrastructure, especially cycling related provisions. For new road projects we will work to be at the forefront of informing planning and planners of cyclists' needs and will do so in conjunction with other cycling representative organisations.
Our quick-links can also be used to help you with reporting pot holes, whilst this site will develop to provide information and resources that can help highlight poor, even dangerous road infrastructure and challenge local authorities over pot holes and claims related to injuries and losses caused by them.
Our highlight campaigns are detailed on this page. If you wish to engage with Camerideri over any of them, or to tell us about other infrastructure issues, get in touch.
Infrastructure Campaigns - 2025
Our first three campaigns will pilot challenges in the Canterbury District. As the largest tourist destination outside of London in the south east its cycling infrastructure is woeful. Especially given its desire to attract continental visitors use to far superior cities (with respect to transport infrastructure) and levels of congestion and poor air quality. The three campaigns relate to:
-
The new road layout along the city wall at Broad Street which missed opportunity to include bus and cycling lanes and in fact created a dangerous pinch point for cyclists.
-
The poorly devised cycle lanes to the A257 leading to St Martin's Hill which are erroneously placed, dangerous to use, a hazard to pedestrians and which inexplicably saw removal of a bus lane that leads to a school and university.
-
The redevelopment of the West Gate Tower area, including the failure to include temporary cycle route opportunities and which must not miss opportunity for the inclusion of safe cycle routes in the final scheme to enhance the city and reduce congestion.
During the summer and autumn 2025 we will be contacting the local authorities responsible for the above projects and will publish responses on this site under each campaign's dedicated sub section.
