"A spokeswoman from the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead said: “The planning inspector has made it clear that groups of cyclists meeting outside Velolife café cause a nuisance to nearby residents. The appeal decision has concluded that the lawful use of the site is as a café with cycle repair. In this decision the planning inspector upheld and varied the enforcement notice and deemed that cyclist meets should not take place at the café but that cyclists are still welcome to use the café facilities but must not congregate outside.”
The councillor is directly contradicting the injuction which states that cyclists can't meet there before, during or after a ride, and that cyclists cannot go there by any means of transport.

If you are a member of a cycling club, going there to drink coffee by any means of transport, technically you would cause them to be in violation of the injuction. People turning up or not turning up is lose lose for them. Really awful.
It's very clear that the borough want the business closed. Madness.

The popular cycling cafe (in an old pub) at Warren row (between Henley, Reading and Maidenhead) has a bizarre planning judgement against limiting what cyclists can do there.

If anyone is in the vicinity perhaps stopping for a coffee this weekend would be a show of support. It's where I will go this Sunday.
