The consultation for the next phase of the popular Oyster Bay Trail cycle route linking Whitstable, Herne Bay, and Reculver is now open. This latest phase will complete the route by linking Swalecliffe and Whitstable and the Crab & Winkle Way. Improvements will also be made to the Crab & Winkle Way cycle route.
Spokes, the Crab & Winkle Line Trust, Sustrans, Canterbury City Council and Kent County Council have all been involved with the planning of this route and we fully support the plans. We strongly encourage you to write in support of these proposals in order to assure that they will go ahead. More details on the proposals can be seen here:

Canterbury City Council would prefer responses online instead of by post since this will speed up the collation of all of the responses. Consultation responses need to be received by 21 February.
