Next to most of the public footpaths across Christ's Pieces and New
Square, there are "no cycling" signs (diagram 951 of the Traffic
Signs Regulations 2002). Such signs are normally only allowed to be
placed to indicate the effect of a "statutory provision" but I
haven't found any such provision in my fairly comprehensive
collection of Cambridge traffic regulation orders. As I understand
it, the City Council owns these parks and makes byelaws in respect
of them, so could you please tell me (assuming you know) what
instrument or instruments, if any, prohibit cycling on Christ's
Pieces and New Square?
Thanks in advance.

On 17th September, I sent you a request for information about the
statutory provisions underlying the "no cycling" signs on Christ's
Pieces and New Square. I don't seem to have had a reply, so would
you mind confirming that you got the request?
Thanks in advance.

On 17th September I asked you for some information about cycling
prohibitions on Christ's Pieces and New Square. It would appear
from your Web site that you received the same day. It's now two
months later and I haven't had either an answer or any indication
of when one might be forthcoming. Would you mind telling me what's
going on with this request?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Ben
I understand that you may not of received this email sent in response
to your FOI request about cycling on Christ's Pieces.
As you will see from the content nearly all the footpaths on these
spaces are adopted footpaths and are under the County Councils control
so the request may be best asked of them.
There is a bylaw from 1928 that covers the remaining footpath running
alongside the bowls club that the City Council is responsible for.
Regards
IAN

Thank you for the information about the cycling prohibition on
Christ's Pieces. I'll drop a line to the WhatDoTheyKnow admins and
see if they can work out what happened to the previous copy of your
message.
