Watch this space, it's not over yet

The park belongs to the borough council, after all, and not the county.

There has also been no mention of a risk assessment, given the steep slopes and blind corners in the upper part of the route.

Everything else in the park gets risk-assessed, why not this most risky proposal of all?

Finally, the cabinet members approved the idea of a special enforcement officer to ensure that cyclists follow their new rules.

This post is not in the council’s present budget and in fact jobs are being cut – including one of only four park rangers - making it unlikely that this increased cost will be included in the next budget. So watch this space. It ain’t over until it’s over.
