There's a lot said about active travel in this country, but a lot of this seems to be waffle.
Take Yeovil Junction. The main station serving a large country town, yet the only way to get between the two is along a dangerous, heavily trafficked, winding country lane without any pavement.
There are rumours of some sort of a footpath avoiding at least some of this, but no one seems to know exactly where it starts and it doesn't appear on any maps or signs.
Kirkby Stephen used to have a similar situation, however in recent years a marvellous paved footpath has been provided away from the road between the station and the edge of town, making it much easier and safer to get between the two.
Yeovil strikes me as being a much bigger town, with Junction Station getting much greater foot fall. Isn't it about time a quality path was provided between the two ?
