City Councillor media coverage
An incomplete list of media coverage from campaigns as a Cambridge City Councillor 2015-2019
Trumpington’s Guided Busway
In 2016, I purchased a radar speed gun to monitor speeds of buses on Cambridgeshire’s Guided Busway, which ran through my ward. A large number of buses were exceeding the speed limit - a fact which I publicised but did not gain media coverage until a crash, eventually attributed to excessive speed, occured the following year.
The resulting coverage, including on BBC’s “Look East” program, caused a number of measures to be introduced over the following months and years. Unfortunately, these measures were not in time to prevent the death of a cyclist in 2018.
