I wish to support a cycle way through Abbey Fields. It has never made sense to me that cycling was banned in the fields. The suggestion that this would be dangerous for small children and the elderly is implausible as visibility is good and a modicum of sense on both sides would avoid accidents. The assertion of a good road network around the fields is clearly made by someone who doesn't cycle - the roads are quite steep and this creates difficulty and danger for a cyclist who is least stable when travelling slowly.

This is a needed link to fully utilise existing paths along the streams. At the moment the fantastic Greenway leads through to Ladyes Hills and a reasonable path parallel to School lane then comes to full stop at the fields.

I would add though that I'd like to see such a path done in sand rather than tarmac to give a more rural feel.
