By Adam Binnie, Senior Reporter
An innovative health and fitness trail has been opened by the mayor of Watford, Dorothy Thornhill.
The need for the Colne River Park's health and fitness trail arose from a survey conducted online in the summer of 2012.
The trail consists of nine pieces of equipment located in Waterfields Recreation Ground, Radlett Road Recreation Ground and Knutsford Playing Fields adjacent to the river.

More importantly, how long will it be until it is (unfortunately) vandalised?
Good old Dotty, puts her name to everything.

No-one has ever said to me "I wish we had an outdoor Gym in Watford. It doesn't matter where it is, I will travel to it and use it". To be honest, no-one's even said the first bit.
Maybe that's why this expensive gym is not used.
Money to burn, Dotty? Why not build a bridge over the pond? What's that? "already in planning". What about a second one then, so you can get back again. You could set up a pond one-way system. Politicians like that sort of stuff, don't they?
I wish I had that sort of money to waste.

LSC, do you really think there will be real political opposition to what the Lib Dem and Dotty want to implement? Feasability Studies can be manipulated depending on the parameters used and who leads on them, consultation can ask the wrong questions or seek answers that serve the drafter's purpose, public meetings have limited time and agendas and might not be widely publicised. Need I go on?
