any money is good, but its pittance when its over 2 years compared to car road monies spent, and simple things like a council looking at a new Tram system 😉
plus most of it is for the tourist route upgrade along the great glen, what about grass routes commuting along either a busy A road or a dark untreated single track farm road as cycle lanes on direct A roads dont seem to exist much outside of inverness to get into the satellite major towns.
new year rant over.

And then we get back to the argument about what sort of cycle provision we want. At the moment, we have a fantastic network of routes provided for cycling between all the major and satellite towns. They are tarmaced and maintained by the local councils with gritting carried out according to a priority system. They are called "roads".as cycle lanes on direct A roads dont seem to exist much outside of inverness to get into the satellite major towns.
These non-trunk roads (and other cycle provisions) are the responsibility of the local council, not the Scottish Government.
