Cycling: Sidmouth to Feniton study: queries to be sent in by Weds 18th June

Over a month ago, Sustrans published its feasibility study for the proposed walking/cycling route from Sidmouth to Feniton:
Futures Forum: Cycling: Sustrans publishes Sidmouth to Feniton study

The press reaction was generally positive:
Otterly brilliant: Devon eyes up new traffic-free trail | Sidmouth | cycle.travel
View From Online - News from West Dorset, East Devon & South Somerset
Study assesses feasibility for new route from Sidmouth to Feniton | Sustrans
A bridge too far? - News - Sidmouth Herald

And last week the area manager for Sustrans, Paul Hawkins, presented the research and proposals to Sidmouth Town Council:
Futures Forum: Cycling: latest plans presented at Sidmouth Town Council: press report
Futures Forum: Cycling: latest plans presented at Sidmouth Town Council

Paul will be leaving Sustrans on Weds 18th June - and would like some feedback about the feasibility study. To quote from Paul:

We have set in place a programme of finishing off outstanding work that we are committed to that I will be focussing on over the next working days...

The key point is that the report says pretty much everything I can apart from the landowner contact log details which are lodged with Devon County Council.  

The presentation to Sidmouth Town Council seemed to be well received last night with support for the concept of the route and a keenness to look at a route in sections and at what sections can be done sooner rather than later, as per the recommendation of the report, whilst recognising that a whole route will take many years.

May I suggest that you pass out my email and telephone number to any of your members who have specific or general queries regarding the report so that I can answer these before 18th June?
