I HAVE been a Petts Wood resident for many years. I am also a car driver and a cyclist.

With fuel at an all time high, I try my best to cycle to work.

Many car drivers do their best to make my journey unpleasant, with the small part of my journey through Jubilee Park being a welcome respite.

However, it is increasingly spoiled by dogs, children and rude people.

Recently, when I was on the cycle path through the park, a child was walking very slowly in the middle of the cycle path.

I sounded my bell three times and in the end had to slow right down and ask the child to excuse me.

I was not going at all fast, but was accused by a rude parent of cycling too fast.

I told the parent where to go, and was then shouted at again.

After a hard day at work and then cycling through traffic, this is the last thing I need.

The signs are there to keep the cyclists and the walkers apart.

Why can't the walkers keep to their path, parents control their children and dog owners keep their dogs under control?
