Whitstable - Crab & Winkle Link over the mainline railway

The greenway and promenade along this 12 mile stretch of coast links numerous settlements. This Connect2 scheme focuses on delivering a number of key routes to the coast, including: the completion of the “Crab & Winkle Line” from Canterbury with two new bridges over the mainline railway and roads at Whitstable; a route to Chestfield & Swalecliffe Station; another to Herne Bay Station and, finally, a new bridge across the railway to St Nicholas at Wade, which in turn links to the existing Viking coastal trail around the Isle of Thanet.  Altogether, this is a marvellous opportunity for creating a wonderful local resource with the capacity to act as a catalyst for many more people walking and cycling for daily trips, as well as for visitors.    

Kent County Council has published the consultation feedback for Whitstable, now available at:

"This is a great honour; I love the thought of becoming part of the landscape alongside Dick Wagstaff and the great Richard Burton. I'm hoping that my sculpture might be able to persuade Burton's sculpture to quote some poetry of an evening, or at least a bit of War of the Worlds." Rob Brydon
