Woman injured in Keynsham cycle lane fall

ANOTHER shopper has been injured falling in the cycle lane in Keynsham High Street.

An ambulance was called to tend to the injured woman on Saturday October 26.

More than 100 pedestrians have been hurt tripping or falling in the cycle lane since it was installed in 2022 as part of the High Street refurbishment.

Despite this, Bath & North East Somerset Council has said it proposes to make no more changes to the lane, which has been repainted red and had a solid white line along its edge changed to a dashed line to improved visibility.

Keynsham ward councillor Alan Hale, who has been fighting for action over the cycle lane, said: “This travesty goes on, with continuing casualties since it opened.

“I cannot believe that the B&NES administration has washed its hands of this problem.”
