Rutland County Council is consulting residents on plans for a new cycling route connecting Oakham town centre with Rutland Water..
The council, which is run by a minority Liberal Democrat administration, says the scheme would improve accessibility for residents and visitors, support tourism and local businesses, and reduce reliance on cars.
Oliver Hemsley, the council's portfolio holder for environment and transport, told BBC News:
Rutland Water is one of the county's most valued destinations for both residents and visitors, and these proposals are about making it easier and safer for people to travel there by bike or on foot.
There's more information on the council's website.
Lord Bonkers has asked me to point out that the chances of being devoured by the Rutland Water Monster while visiting have been greatly exaggerated by an irresponsible media.
