Enforce the rules

Friday, March 15, 9am: Nearly knocked over by cyclist, who was on his phone, in Commercial Road pedestrian precinct.

Friday, March 15, 10am: Received new council tax bill showing 13.5 per cent increase for policing.

Any chance at all that a little of this increase will be used by the authorities to enforce the clearly signed ‘No Cycling’ areas in the precinct?

This isn’t just a few cyclists, it’s dozens. It includes delivery riders for Deliveroo and Uber Eats.

This breach must appear on the CCTV cameras operating in the precinct?

Finally, how come it is a criminal offence for all other road users to use their phone while moving but, apparently, it’s okay for cyclists? Terry Pearson Portsea
