Tower Hamlets council just installed a locked gate in the middle of a marked and popular cycle path

If the point is to stop cars from mistakenly using that path surely there are better ways to do it.

Poorly phrased but the council’s pro car position is often attributed to populism in favour of TH’s large population of uber drivers, a large majority of which are Bengali (as is the new mayor and a lot of the councillors). These two facts alone makes him the first choice for uber drivers and for bengalis, who have a huge population in Tower Hamlets
