I see Brighton and Hove City Council is pursuing its obsessive policy of providing cycle lanes where none is needed (The Argus, October 3).

The Dyke Railway trail is to form part of the new route.

This is a shared pedestrian/cycle pathway where pedestrians outnumber cyclists by ten to one but will it become another pathway that will be lost to the absurd PC policies of Brighton and Hove City Council?

It is unsafe to walk anywhere along the promenade on the seafront where cyclists ignore the no cycling signs.

Yet the path across the bypass to take us up to the surrounding downs has become overgrown with nettles and brambles and then disappears altogether.

Not so the cycle path, which is kept in immaculate condition.
