Locals are up in arms over a new cycle lane that is less than a mile long and costs over £5,000,000 to build.

Work has been underway for a year to install a new, segregated cycle lane in Willenhall, Walsall.

However, the 0.8-mile lane, which runs along New Road and Bilston Street, has been labelled a ‘monumental waste of public money’ after the full cost of the project was revealed.
