Cycle Track from Dumbarton to Helensburgh

After more than 12 years of delays, missed opportunities (including the loss of ring fenced EU money provided for that purpose), consultation exercises and excuses about land ownership issues, I would like to see some action regarding the construction of this long awaited cycle track.

Why is this important?

The A814 between Dumbarton and Helensburgh is the missing link in a network of cycle tracks in the area. It is a busy, twisting and narrow road and the pavement is in most places unsuitable for a bike. Cyclists are forced to cycle on the road, which causes delays and frustration to traffic and puts cyclists at serious risk of injury when vehicles do pass.
