cyclists are second class citizens

About a year ago I wrote to one of my local councillors to complain that inconsiderate motorists were blocking the cycle path near me. I was assured that plans were afoot to upgrade cycle routes in the west end; and that my issue would be addressed then. “At last “I thought “action is going to be taken”. As I heard nothing further, I wrote to the council roads department about a couple of months ago. The matter was in hand I was assured; they were going to paint double yellow lines at the spot. Finally, about a fortnight ago, some traffic cones were deposited on the place I have been writing about. The cones are still there, although some have now disappeared. It all seems a bit haphazard. When I was a local councillor I used to chase things up.
