Nice picture there Paul well done with that. Things are certainly coming along.
But with regards to the cycle lane. The cycle lane as indicated by the green 'flooring' never went through the main bit of prom. I will try and show you with a picture...the one I used recently to show the seafront at 6.30 in the evening...yes here we are...
If you see there, and the green is very faded now, and dusty with the building works and so on, but it ends roughly where the white Refreshment Van is. In fact the Refreshment Van is parked right smack dab in the middle of it, blocking the cycle path completely, so you can see how much respect there is for the cycle path idea. But 20 yards beyond the Refreshment Van it finishes anyway and the cyclists are turfed out onto the road. When Briony was small she used to cycle along it with me following behind on shankses pony, but naturally enough when we got to the point it ended right there prior to the main prom, I didnt turf her out onto the roadway. So in other words everyone carries on up through the busy prom regardless.
