Business owners in Castleton, Greater Manchester claim a new bike path is preventing customers from parking on the road and near their stores. It took around 18 months to build but despite the time and money put into the path, local shopkeepers say it has killed off their businesses. Stephen Thomas, 60, owns Smith's Bakery And Confectioners Ltd in the village, but has been forced to close one of his branches because of the lack of footfall.
