Future cycling and walking routes
Monday, February 22nd, 2010Spokes tracks and actively campaigns for the creation of a number of cycling and walking routes across East Kent. These are invariably long-term projects. So, in order to keep better track of these, and to inform everybody that may be interested in their progress, we’ve started to develop a whole new Future Routes section to our website dedicated to this. Naturally it will be continually under development, so please check frequently to get the latest details. If you think you can help with the development of any of these plans, or have a suggestion for another route, please leave a comment or send us an email.
We’d particularly like to thank our Minutes Secretary, Keith Hanna, for bringing this to fruition.
