Reader’s Letter – April 2026

Cycle paths are too expensive

The millions spent on cycle tracks on Bradley Stoke Way are for how many cyclists? The Council’s policy of walking and cycling is one sided – what about walkers?

I have complained about flooded, muddy footpaths for over five years, even two years ago taking a member of Street Care along the path to Willowbrook shopping centre. I also pointed out the pathway parallel with Orpheus Way had been covered with unsuitable oversized stones which were changed. But that path is now deep mud.

There is a simple solution in both cases to drain the rainwater away, and I would demonstrate a simple solution if required.
