New anti skid surfacing has
New anti skid surfacing has been applied on the wooden section of the Coastal Walkway at Hickford park to improve the safety of bike riders on this slippery wooden section. However riders are calling council to say that this has made the situation worse. If anyone is riding out trhat way this week i would appreciate your feedback.
