Running Track on the Highwalk?

The honorary secretary of the Barbican Association sent out the following note about plans to have a marked running track on the highwalk.

The paint will be this colour
But, before handing out cool projects to City officers to manage and roll-out (like Victors seats) perhaps we should get the maintenance of the highwalks sorted out?  Fixing the drains would be a good start.  When the boring old maintenance is properly under control we can then look at the list of cool ideas like the running track (which will come with a maintenance plan too, right?).

Here is the note:

Dear BAGC Members 

Please forward this email to your residents so they can comment on the proposal to open a 1.5km running track on the Barbican highwalk without the need for a planning application as, I am advised by the Common Councillor behind the proposal, the creation of the track would be part of the broader plan to refurbish the high walk.

You can see the proposal here -

Maps are top left, click there to see a Barbican specific map that shows the route around the highwalk.

There is also a link, below the main image, to comment on the proposal.

Best regards
Christopher
Hon Sec BAGC
