Object to proposals for a cycle route across Abbey Fields for the following reasons:
-ByLaws currently prevent cycling to minimise confilct with pedestrians and ejoyment of the park by families and children
-it would be impossible to police if only some routes were restricted for cyclists
-the entrance and approach to the swimming pool is very heavily used by pedestrians, and cyclists would represent a danger in the these locations
-there are two blind corners at the end of the pool and the bird feeding area is nature reserve
-the footbridge is not wide enough
-The Ancient Monument would be affected
-there is no evidence of need from cyclists
-annual events take place in the park which are not compatible ith cycling
-Abbey Fields is a protected treasure of the town and should not be threatened
-there are alternative routes for cyclists
