Trees overhanging shared use pavement have shed masses of slippery leaves.

Now that Blackberry Hill / Broomhill has been narrowed to enable widening of the pavement on the East side, cyclists have no choice but to use the new shared path.
Back in the summer I was having to duck to get under the trees, now that autumn is here there are lots of slippery leaves building up - with smooth pavement and cambers, this is somewhat worrying, so periodic sweeping is surely required ?

People on bikes can still use the road if they wish, and if the shared path is covered in leaves, it would make good sense to

Did you miss the bit where I said the road had been narrowed ? Perhaps you would care to demonstrate.? To be honest, I had every intention of not using it - if only on account of the nightmarish tiger crossing.

Show me the bit where I said that the width of the road makes any difference. Still stands : Cyclists can use the road if they wish to.

OK previous commenter - it makes a difference because cyclists get cold if they have to wait in a traffic queue - some are clipped to their pedals. Cars belt up the hill at alarming speed and with traffic islands removed, filtering past traffic is scary.
