ON THE TRAIL

I went on a cycle ride up the Nutbrook Trail from Long Eaton to Shipley Park. The Nutbrook trail was a project completed last time Labour had a majority on Erewash Council. It is now part of the national cycle network. Some of it has been upgraded by British Waterways but much of it needs further work. Lots of puddles and mire particularly along the bit in Amber Valley District Council's area.
We had a positive attitude when in control of Erewash and made significant improvements along the canal side using the Erewash Groundwork Trust to design and implement a long lasting ecological improvement along the Erewash Canal.

WORK PROGRESSING ON PASTURE LOCK
 I would like to see more spurs to allow users alternative routes thereby introducing greater variety along the trail.
Cycling merrily along I first got chased by a Border Collie, then a Boxer dog and finally snapped at by an Aberdeen Terrier. Fortunately the Aberdeen was restrained by the owner otherwise a nasty nip seemed to be in the offing. What is it with these hounds? Aren't they getting enough food or is it they just can't resist my bony ankles?
