Folkestone / Shepway Cycle Forum will hold an open meeting this Thursday (October 8) at the Civic Centre in Middleburg at 7pm.
The group has been working with Kent County Council to influence Shepway’s Cycling Strategy. On September 12 the group had a successful awareness raising day in the centre of the town with representatives from Sustrans and Spokes organisations. To gather information for the Cycle Strategy, over 50 questionnaires were collected, which will be passed to KCC.
The group is proposing a cycle lane running North – South along Cornwallis Road and Earls Avenue, incorporating the existing path which runs under the railway bridge by South Kent College. Also proposed is an east – West route, taking in many schools along the way, hopefully making cycling to school a more realistic option for schoolchildren.
The group has already had some success, working with Folkestone Town Council to increase the number of bike stands in Cheriton and Folkestone.
