Are Southampton's Covid-19 cycle lanes here to stay?

Cycling has seen an increase in popularity during lockdown, with many people switching to bikes for commuting.

The government has invested £225m to encourage local councils to set up new cycle lanes as part of a Green Transport Recovery Plan.

In Southampton, where car numbers dropped by 60% at the height of lockdown, five new pop-up cycle lanes have been created.

But some motorists have questioned if they are a good use of road space, with the council reporting a 28% fall in cycling this month.
