Good news for Cyclists, Walkers / Peacehaven & Newhaven

[Deleted member 22389]

Two bits of good news. Newhaven to Lewes cycle path. Great for cyclists because as you know the C7 is a dangerous place to be on your bike.

"New park by the water treatment plant" smells a bit fishy to me

More likely to be the smell of body odour as those skater types only wash once a fortnight.

Very good idea to have cycle path on the C7, not the best of roads but it's used a fair bit by cyclists.

Good news for the local skater types too, and for the people that live next door to the existing skate park in Peacehaven.

The Sussex Express has a website!! Bloody hell. And I thought they still used old fashioned type setters to produce that antiquated rag.

Seriously though, great news for us cyclists.

The Lewes/Newhaven route won't be popular with walkers.

Why not?

Why not?

Presumably because there's already a pleasant path on the riverbank, which will be ruined a bit if replaced by gravel/tarmac.

The current footpath lies across the top of the embankment, throughout much of the route there is often a track running at the bottom of the same embankment on the landward side. My guess is the cycle path will go there.

Fantastic news the more cycle paths the more people will cycle.
