When the Tiling Magnate bought Splash Bathroom Warehouse ENgine Shed he closed the public access to the WoL path that starts at His Mattnesses bike shop. Mr Tile argued he had put in perfectly acceptable alternatives. They are alright but @Neddie and the council have insisted he open his gates so the public can get through. He hasn’t until now.
There is ongoing maintenance of drains? So in an ironic twist his new path does help the path stay open as you go up it a tad. Then through his two gates then on yer way.
Bizarrely for someone so on the ball Councillor Webber thinks his gates are open out of kindness. They are in fact supposed to be open. Same councillor also thinks cyclists should dismount. This is fine but not necessary if you ar careful you can cycle up the wee slope then wait for any errant Peds then cycle down through his property as God, the council and @Neddie intended. I did this without any issues apart from some dirty looks but then I had my Stetson on as was cycling to band practice.
