Some rare good news

Cycle tracks in this part of the country are roads. They are strips of black tarmac wide enough to drive a bus on. They sterilise a wide strip of land and municipalise the places that they blight. The nature reserve does not have public access as the land belongs to Eon so the cycle track would have fudamentally change its nature. The birdwatchers said that as soon as people brought dogs onto the path - as inevitably they would - the birds would disappear.
