Jeremy Vine breached impartiality rules over safe cycling remarks, says BBC

Broadcaster warns staff against expressing support for contentious low-traffic neighbourhoods

The BBC has warned staff against expressing support for low-traffic neighbourhoods, after ruling that Jeremy Vine breached impartiality rules by backing safe cycling measures near his London home.

The Radio 2 presenter, a well-known cyclist, has posted repeatedly on Twitter about his support for LTNs - and publicly criticised individuals who objected to the introduction of the traffic-calming scheme near his house in Chiswick.
