Kent Highway Services are currently consulting on a new pedestrian and cycle safety scheme along Pyson’s Road in Thanet. The plans are to increase the side of the pedestrian / cycle crossing islands, widen the cycle / foot paths, and install a couple of bollards to prevent parking on the cycle path. Comments from the public are requested by 23rd April. Here’s a map of the current facilities.
