Hi All,

I am new to this forum & haven't found this thread but I believe it is something that has already been discussed.

I live on the Thames Foot-path 1 opposite the Island Bohemian Bowls Club on Fry's Island. As the land owner over which we have to allow the FOOT traffic on the path I have seen many incidents of reckless cycling (& even motorcycling) from people who argue that it has always been a path on which they cycle. They don't believe that cycling was specifically disallowed by a public order dated 24th November 1997. It is not surprising when the Council agree to put No Cycling Signs up then take them down or produce inaccurate maps. The maps on the display boards have been changed to say that Cyclists Should Dismount.

For those who doubt I would like to attachi The Order 533/97 dated 24/11/97 with minor modifications dated 8/12/2000
