Cycling through central Brentwood is inhibited by the narrowness of Shenfield Road/Brentwood High St. and adjoining roads. The above major route is often congested at peak times and due to road works. I cannot see how this can be improved to encourage cycling; many of the current cyclists use the pavements, as the road is considered too dangerous. Any measures that can be adopted to encourage cycling would be welcome.
