Roadworks dangerous for cyclists

Cyclist travelling eastbound on Waterloo Rd are directed from the cycle lane to the new signalised cycle crossing at the intersection with Pound Rd. Unfortunately, on the other side of the crossing the cycle path is closed off with cone bars, forcing them back onto the road. As they turn out of Pound Rd north (where the cycle crossing has dumped them), they are immediately confronted by a coned off cycle lane (coned off so green sand can be painted on). There is no advance warning of the cycle lane closure on either the Waterloo Rd or Pound Rd approaches.
