Street furniture in middle of shared use path
Anfon at Gloucestershire County Council llai na munud yn hwyrach. Cyfeirnod FixMyStreet: 5633995.
New street furniture has been installed on the shared use path between Stratton and town, opposite the Abbey way petrol station.
For some unknown reason this has been installed near the middle of the path, and not against the wall as shown in the photos.
As well as unnecessarily narrowing the path, this is an unmarked obstacle. In particular it is a small, black, unmarked cross-section that could easily be hit in the dark by a cyclist.
Ideally this would be moved, but at the very least it needs to have some sort of high visibility markings added to the sides to help avoid this risk.
It would be good to understand why it has been installed in this position, and whether there is guidances/rules that apply to work done on public right of ways.
