It's one of four new cycle lanes planned
Residents in a Nottinghamshire town have described plans for a new cycle path as a 'waste of money'. Nottinghamshire County Council wants to create the lane on Kirkby Folly Road, Sutton-in-Ashfield, just months after it built an unpopular cycle path on nearby High Pavement at a cost of £535,000.
A resident who lives on Kirkby Folly Road, who did not wish to be named, said: "There's already a path there so I'm not sure if they really need anything else. I've used it before and it's absolutely fine." A 47-year-old mum who lives close to Kirkby Folly Road said she does not see the purpose of a new path. She said: "I can't say that it's going to make a difference.
Software engineer Jon Kilgallon, 36, said: "I have seen a couple of people use it but I'm not sure there was a great deal of point building it. In some ways it has been good as the cars are generally slowing down now, but I personally preferred having that dedicated left turn lane."

Association of US County-Level Eviction Rates and All-Cause Mortality - Journal of General Internal MedicineBackground Housing instability is a key social determinant of health and has been linked to adverse short- and long-term health. Eviction reflects a severe form of housing instability and disproportionately affects minority and women residents in the USA; however, its relationship with mortality has not previously been described. Objective To evaluate the independent association of county-level eviction rates with all-cause mortality in the USA after adjustment for county demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related characteristics. Design Cross-sectional. Participants Six hundred eighty-six US counties with available 2016 county-level eviction and mortality data. Exposure 2016 US county-level eviction rate. Outcome 2016 US county-level age-adjusted all-cause mortality. Key Results Among 686 counties (66.1 million residents, 50.5% [49.7–51.2] women, 2% [0.5–11.1] Black race) with available eviction and mortality data in 2016, we observed a significant and graded relationship between county-level eviction rate and all-cause mortality. Counties in the highest eviction tertile demonstrated a greater proportion of residents of Black race and women and a higher prevalence of poverty and comorbid health conditions. After adjustment for county-level sociodemographic traits and prevalent comorbid health conditions, age-adjusted all-cause mortality was highest among counties in the highest eviction tertile (Tertile 3 vs 1 (per 100,000 people) 33.57: 95% CI: 10.5–56.6 p=.004). Consistent results were observed in continuous analysis of eviction, with all-cause mortality increasing by 9.32 deaths per 100,000 people (4.77, 13.89, p|.0001) for every 1% increase in eviction rates. Significant interaction in the relationship between eviction and all-cause mortality was observed by the proportion of Black and women residents. Conclusions In this cross-sectional analysis, county-level eviction rates were significantly associated with all-cause mortality with the strongest effects o
