THE rates go up, taxes go up and everyone complains but the powers-that-be have finally provided what we could not live without and that's a cycle lane on the already crowded, over-used Brandlesholme Road in Bury.
Surely this obsession with the cyclist is lunacy. Thousands of motorists use this road every day along with the odd cyclist. Surely the money would have been better spent on public transport improvements.
We now have large, blue unsightly signs every 200 yards on both sides of Brandlesholme Road, plus one at every junction. So cheers to the brains behind this idea.
