Quite Route 8 Consultation now open until 25 November

Some comments already to be found here: Council consultation on park cycling management
Council consultation on park cycling management
The Council will shortly commence a consultation on a proposal for the management of cycling/walking in the park.
At the FoRP AGM there was concern that just splitting the path might lead to cyclists going faster and dogs and toddlers not observing the split. However the blind spot by the toilet block needed attention.
In discussion with the Council the idea of a 3-month trial to split cyclists and walkers only around the central area was suggested, with cyclists “give way” signs on either side of the blindspot.
