Tarvin fotpath network is very unfriendly and definitely NOT smooth. United Utilities strap line "making life flow smoothly" does not apply here. The path around the UU treatment works is very badly maintained. Wouldn't take much to make it ... [more]

Tarvin Coop cycle parking. The stands are too close together. By removing the middle stand the same number of cycles can be accommodated . The removed stand can be used elsewhere at this store or at another.

Cycle parking, for some reason, at the start of a cycle route parallel to the B5130 into Chester - and surely the sign to the right has been turned around?

It would be better to have a raised cushion across the side-road rather than the oh-so-predictable Cyclsists Dismount signs.

#89090, nearby

The shared-use path south from Chester ends heer (with a van parked on it).

Private road to Eaton Hall - there are public footpaths through the Duke of Westminster's estate, so it would be great if a cycle route could use this bridge across the Dee and link up with Chester.

Anti-cyclist signage in Chester. A Cyclists Dismount sign would be more logically correct, anyway.

End of shared-use footway

#53678, nearby

No effort appears to have been made to convert this footway to shared-use other than to put up signs.

#53677, nearby

Lots of vehicles triggering the 50mph/Slow Down signs on A41 dual carriageway on approach to at-grade junction (see also #53676)

#53676, nearby
