Cyclist Neil Innes said when he offered to fix the roads using contractors, Aberdeenshire Council stepped in to ban him from doing the work.
Cyclist Neil Innes was stunned when he was told by Aberdeenshire Council roads bosses they had no plans to repair faults on the route for the Ride the North event he is organising in August.
“This causes me a lot of frustration, given that I have witnessed one cyclist crash, who needed major surgery, due to the state of the road in a previous event.” He wrote: “What may appear as a defect/hazard for you, may not score highly enough on our matrix to warrant prioritising that defect over other defects in the area and I therefore cannot guarantee any reinstatements/repairs will be carried out along your proposed route prior to your event.
Neil replied: “I have people coming from around the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and US. I’m really proud of Aberdeenshire but I cannot run an event where roads are in that condition.
