[Blackbrook Eye]

We have a 'cycle path' through the village which is to say the least sparodic, it appears and dissipears as you travel along the roads, it is none existant on the narrow parts and reappears on the wider parts, that is if you can find it beneath the parked vehicles, leaving the village it runs along the narrow footpath beside the busy main road to Loughborough, at junction 23 of the M1 it stops, and then starts again on the other side when the dangerous part is passed, and continues down the footpath which is in a sorry state, crumbling and pot-holed. Having reached the outskirts of Loughborough it starts its 'now you see me now you dont' phase again, until the roundabout at the University where it stops again until the dangerous part is passed and then joins with the conglomoration of footpaths and bus lanes into the town. If some of the proposed spending improves stretches like this, then I am all for it but I wont be holding my breath.
