Thirlmere protest (@Niallsspence/Twitter)

More than 1,000 cyclists and walkers protest proposed permanent closure of quiet route that is “key part” of National Cycling Network

An online petition has been signed nearly 10,000 times, while Cycling UK has urged people to oppose the proposed closure which would force vulnerable road users to use a busy A-road "hemmed in by walls with fast flowing traffic and heavy goods vehicles"
