safety issue
There are no give way markers where Max.Railway Path joins the Garroch Loaning cycle path
-
New cyclepath
The current hardcore path is often not usable for walking / cycling during wet weather. The path is difficult to pass through due to water on the surface. A new tarmac option would be much better. A new drop kerb on Bell Court and widened access would also help improve this route. Note the path gives access to a local football pitch as well as a local park. Cycling and walking in the area would increase if this issue was fixed.
