Evidence shows that for every £1.00 spent on cycling and walking facilities the economy benefits by an average £20.00. Those few new roads that do benefit local economies rarely exceed £3.00 Bob Blizzard's attack on SCC was disgraceful. The bridge at Oulton Broad south is a close second to the bascule bridge in being the biggest deterrent to cycling in the town. Cyclists have been clipped by car wing mirrors.    Report
