Among those to attend the flash mob were Councillor Tor Pingree, the Mayor of Worcester, who also took part in the dancing, members of Freedom Leisure, Got to Sing Choir and residents from Great Island Park.

The choir performed songs from Wake Me Up by Avicii, The One and Only by Chesney Hawks, Human by The Killers and Could It Be Magic by Take That.

At Tuesday's meeting Mayor Tor Pingree said our current rules on cycling in the city centre are not effective and said Worcester has a national reputation for bad cycling infrastructure.

She said whatever changes happen it must be remembered that cyclists would be guests in the pedestrianised area.
