WIRRAL has been trumpeting the arrival of the OVO Tour Series for professional cyclists last Tuesday as well as hosting a stage of the Tour of Britain in September.

But nothing has been done to resolve the blockage at one of the area’s premier scenic routes.

The perimeter track around Bidston Moss is blocked by a lake that has been growing in size since before the turn of the year.

You expect a bit of flooding in winter but a small pool has been allowed to grow into something resembling a lake.

You can actually see vegetation growing underneath the water, it’s like Wirral's version of a coral reef.

Unfortunately, no one seems to taking responsibility for this. It affects walkers as well as cyclists.

Every time you go along there – which I do less and less – you find people grumbling.

The track at the rear of Bidston links on to Route 56 of the national cycleway.

The flooding appears to have been caused by a drainage issue on nearby land managed by Network Rail.
