Pleased to report that the section of track shown in the 3rd picture below is due to be re-surfaced starting August 10th. This is the report I sent in to council officers in May.
--
We cycled in from Lincoln to Sheffield on Monday. On arrival at Sheffield this is what we found:
Widespread litter on Tye Rd
Graffiti and vandalisation at the access point to "Linleybank meadows"
The steep bank at the access to the bridge over the A57 is heavily deteriorated.
This is now a serious hazard and someone is going to do themselves a serious injury soon if it is not remedied.
I know I've had difficulty persuading officers of this in the past but the original route took a curved trajectory so that the gradient was not so steep. I now have a witness to this (the gentleman in the picture.)
Obviously I will keep this notification on file so that if an accident does take place I can advise the victim that this issue was notified to the council.
I have to say that having spent the weekend cycling round Lincolnshire and NE Derbyshire on cycle routes that were either excellent or good it was quite depressing to get back to get back to Sheffield and be greeted by this.
