In last week's Herald, Chief Superintendent Hogben announced a police crackdown on cyclists disobeying traffic rules and cycling on the pavement.
The Shepway Cycle Forum has been quietly campaigning for many months to improve the lot of cyclists with improved cycle lanes and has offered advice to inform Kent County Council policies. Despite their efforts, for the most part they have been ignored by the powers that be.
The Forum has now contacted the Herald and there is a photocall by the Burstin at 2:30 this afternoon (Wednesday 18). The Forum would like all those who care about cycling in the district to attend if possible.
A Forum spokesperson said "The Forum has been patiently campaigning for KCC to progress a Cycling Strategy for Shepway since 2007 - a story of frustrated expectations and lack of progress,
"Since the last meeting, when once again the KCC traffic engineer did not turn up, we have been unable to meet anyone from KCC who would be able to tell us what actual progress has been made."
