    "Work on the Helix project, which also includes a canal extension, pathways and cycle networks, began in February 2011."

    There are smaller versions of the Kelpie heads in front of the airport.

    Helix director Mike King added: "One of the aims of the Helix is to encourage people to adopt healthier, outdoor lifestyles.

    "Our network of paths have been designed to accommodate everyone from keen walkers and cyclists to ambulant users and mothers with buggies.

    "We're planning to hold further organised activities on the paths over the coming months to encourage people to keep using them."

    These attractions are always flagged up as 'green' but can sometimes result in more people driving. I know people should cycle and walk and hopefully distances are short enough to encourage this and not result in another attraction with a big car park.
