The Nutbrook Trail, which runs between Long Eaton and Shipley Park, will be hit by Derbyshire funding cuts. The maintenance was carried out by an organisation called SUSTRANS on behalf of Derbyshire County Council. The £4,000 used by them to carry out routine maintenance has been cut from the DCC budget.
I rode up the trail the other day and was struck by the bad state of the Shipley Park end. The cycleway needs more repairs not less.
I believe we should be opening up more footpaths, cycle and bridleways, not running down the one we've already got. Not only is encouraging people off the roads good for health but it also helps local tourism. Another mindless cut from Derbyshire County Council.
