A new interactive map has been created so that people living in the BANES catchment area can alert the council on what road, path and access problems there are.

The map is the brainchild of the Chair of Walk Ride Bath (formerly Cycle Bath) Adam Reynolds, but it is not just for cyclists.

They want to hear from people in mobility scooters, in wheelchairs along with those who have to push prams around to make a map showing problems that mean they can't easily move around.

As Adam explained the project has already snowballed into something much bigger than simply reporting poorly maintained paths.

Adam told Nub News: " We're trying to use the map to capture issues, then transfer them to a spreadsheet and bring them to the BaNES Active Travel and Accessibility Forum that happens every four months. "

Their next meeting is today (March 2).

Adam continued: "We find that you can raise an issue then nothing happens and you raise it again six months later. But then you have to do it again."

Currently most reports are from people living in Bath who are having problems hitting potholes or barriers, either on their bikes or with prams and mobility scooters.

The group explicitly removes any issues that can be dealt with via Fix My Street system.

B&NES will often insist that they can't deal with problems if they don't know about them, so the map could help to stop the age-old complaint that the council never do anything.

The map is a project under the umbrella of Walk Ride Bath which is the new organisation replacing Cycle Bath.

The group champions walking, accessibility, disability, and riding bikes, eScooters, mobility scooters, wheelchairs and cargo bikes.
