I would like to live somewhere with much better non-moton access. Bigger towns and cities have nice big parks and other areas have extensive heath and common land, miles of sustrans former rail beds and plenty of public access woodland. Here in Rugby I have miles of broken pavements and three km of former track bed which has been so badly thought through that it suffers terribly with flooding. If I were a driver I could within an hour be at many great venues such as Draycote Water, the Brampton Valley Way, Salcey Forest, Harlestone Firs, Pitsford Reservoir, The pathways alongside the River Nene around Northampton which also has Beckett Park, Abington Park and The Racecourse (where they have their Parkrun), the gardens and pathways of Leamington Spa, etc., etc., etc. Even our local canal paths are rubbish but go just a few miles further afield and there are miles or paths that are safe to run on.
Must talk to my MP. Oh, waste of time: MP* MP is a fascist of the most cynically nasty kind imo.
* MP or Mark Pewsey is a serial yes man who drifts with the political wind in the HoC and only ever appears in the local rag for a photoshoot. There was once a local area litter pick. Fawning Pawsey showed up, had his picture taken and then pissed off without picking one single piece of litter leaving the pick to local volunteers and the Labour councillors who represent the ward. Guess which pic got into the local rag?
