These sorts of things should be front and centre of UK government policy. Perhaps, when the government of the day can no longer shrug its shoulders and outsource the problem to Brussels, the debate will change and we will start to take an appropriate interest in them.

In Bolton several years ago they reduced the bypass to one lane each way from two to provide a cycle lanes that no-one uses. All under EU funding.
