Ashford Willesborough Dykes cycling and walking path and bridges
Thursday, February 11th, 2010A planning application for a cycling and walking path at Ashford’s Willesborough Dykes, running south from Asda towards Park Farm has been placed. Getting to Park Farm as a cyclist from central Ashford is currently quite indirect and this will help with providing a much more direct route. We recommend that you write in support of this application. Comments need to be received by 27th February at Ashford Borough Council.
