Why I am fed up.

I think the cycle lane thing was a specific grant from the government that could be used for only this purpose. 

Agree with you purbeck girl that they lost all their central funding I believe, £80million? something like that, hence the frustration with why this is such a staunch Tory area, we keep letting them do it to us. Equally they shouldn't be wasting what funds they do have which they are on an epic scale.

So many of my friends are leaving the area because of the state of Chiltern / Bucks, so disappointing.

Some are going to the West Country, but a smattering everywhere. Fed up with the rat race round here, poor roads (they are definitely the worst having occasionally cycled in a few counties this year), lower housing costs etc
