I do my own stunts
Part of my commute is on a busy segregated cycle and footpath.
Thames Water are doing some works on it at the moment, these have been going on for over a year with little evidence of men on site.
At various points along the route they have fenced of over two thirds of the width of the path meaning everyone is forced into a single line to get by. If a pedestrian is walking through it can be quite a wait on the bike for them to clear the works.
I reported it to the council once already on FixMyStreet because they were also using most of the width of the cycle path to store signs as well which were removed quite quickly. I was wondering if there are any rules about whether they can mess up the cycle path like this for months on end so that I can at least give the council a stick to beat them with. I'm sure it wouldn't be allowed to close off most of a road for months and months and it's getting on my wick that the attitude is clearly that it is a cycle path and doesn't matter if cyclists and peds are inconvenienced.
