I appreciate the point that you have to spend so much on active travel. I do not disagree with that; I agree. I will not drill into the Cookstown one. It is built now, but the money could have been better spent on active travel schemes that would have done more. However, my point is that we cannot walk on the existing footpaths. We could all make a list of such footpaths across Northern Ireland. Walking is a form of active travel, but we cannot walk on existing footways. They are not well enough maintained. I appreciate that the new ones are of benefit, but the old ones are not being maintained.
