Safer Walking, Wheeling and Cycling Links: Between Langton Green, Rusthall, the Commons and Royal Tunbridge Wells

Phase 2 Engagement

Introduction

Tunbridge Well Borough Council (TWBC) and Kent County Council (KCC) are working to deliver a series of measures that would make the links between Langton Green, Rusthall, the Commons and Royal Tunbridge Wells safer for walking, wheeling (e.g. wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or children’s buggies) and cycling. This would benefit local residents who want to walk, wheel or cycle shorter journeys, for example, to school or shops, as well as improving access to green spaces including the Tunbridge Wells and Rusthall Commons. This project is funded by Active Travel England (ATE).
