Meeting of Sidmouth Town Council - Monday 3 July 2017 at 6.30pm

The Otter Trail Group gave a presentation to Ottery Town Council back in February:

Jo Elliott and Kirby James spoke about proposals for the Feniton to Sidmouth cycleway. It was understood that the Otter trail Group was a community group which aimed to establish a multi-use trail between Feniton, Ottery St Mary, Tipton St John and Sidmouth. The proposed all-weather multi-use path would benefit walkers, runners, horse riders, cyclists and wheelchair bound users Mr James advised that once the cycleway was operational (possibly in two years time) that it would require on-going maintenance and he would then wish to explore the idea of the Council contributing towards the maintenance costs. Mr Kirby took questions from councillors. Cllr Giles proposed that that the Council thanked the Group for the presentation and that he would e-mail appropriate wording to the Clerk
