The county council has confirmed that it intends to introduce its Exeter Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plan, now six years late, without committing to delivery timescales, allocating any funding or expanding the proposed network in response to opposition to its plans centred on their lack of ambition.
It also rejected calls to extend a 20mph speed limit across Exeter to increase cyclist and pedestrian safety.
Exeter Observer publishes the independent, investigative public interest journalism our local democracy needs without fear or favour.
It can do this because it is the city's only news organisation that doesn't have to answer to advertisers, remote shareholders or the powers that be.
Instead, its not-for-profit community-owned business model is simple.
It depends on readers like you who sustain our reporting by paying a small subscription each month.
Lots of people currently chip in like this. But it's not enough: we need more paying subcribers to cover our costs and continue publishing.
Help us reach our goal: 127 of the 300 readers we need have signed up so far. Please join them today, if you haven't already.
