I've noticed over the past few weeks that 'the council??' have started allowing their employees use the NEPN as a route to their various sites they need to cut the grass on. These things now go wizzing up the NEPN, flashing lights and taking up ~80% of the path width. Now so far they have been driven carefully slowing when around peds and cyclists, and pulling over where possible, but I don't like the precedent it sets. I think in a few years, these paths, once traffic free, could be short cuts for all council employees, wizzing here and there round the city.
What do you think? Am I being too critical?
