footway

It said the footway on Nursery Road's north side had never been signed as shared use and did not appear as a cycle route on council bike maps.

"What we've had to do is redirect a lot of our contractors and our highway staff who would have been working on other things. So staff yesterday, who should have been filling potholes, or should be carrying out new footway schemes or resurfacing roads."

A council has admitted making a mistake over a new footway colour scheme, described variously by residents as a "snotty colour green" and "hideous".

The Met Police say they will issue fines of £50 for riding on the footway - and £100 and six driving licence penalty points for using a mobile phone or riding through a red light.
