Comment | The majority of the homes that were demolished to make way for the M8 were in comprehensive development areas, and due to be flattened anyway.
(There's a separate argument to be had about whether it would have been better to refurbish them, but their fate was sealed, road or no road)
In general, off-road cycle routes would be better (rather than a stripe of paint or those rubber armadillo things) but there's limited scope now that areas are much densely built up than, say, 30 or 40yrs ago. |
