Viking Coastal Trail – Link to Broadstairs Station Viking Coastal Trail – Link to Broadstairs Station A report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 24 June 2003. Introduction 1. This report is a follow up to two previous reports on 13 November 2001 and 19 March 2002, and contains the results of a public consultation on a proposed cycle link between Broadstairs railway station and the Viking Coastal Trail. Background 2. This Board has previously supported an innovative scheme to promote Thanet’s seven railway stations as “Viking Coastal Trail Interchange” points, following an agreement with Sustrans and Connex. This scheme involves distinctive signs on the railway platforms (see Fig. 1 in Appendix A), and signposted routes from the stations to the Viking Coastal Trail. 3. Since it was opened by Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes MBE on 10 June 2001, the Viking Coastal Trail (a 28-mile multi-purpose circular cycle route around Thanet) has been very successful, enjoying very positive national media coverage. Cafes and pubs on the route have reported increased business, and a key objective in the promotion of the route is as a sustainable tourist attraction in its own right (see Appendix B). The links to the stations are an integral part of this strategy. 4. Signposted routes to Westgate, Margate, Dumpton Park, Ramsgate and Minster stations were relatively straightforward to implement, and are now in place. The route to Birchington station initially involved a contraflow cycle lane in Sandles Road, but that was abandoned after consultation with the Parish Council. A new signposted route (involving no alterations to the highway) has subsequently been drawn up and agreed with the Parish Council, and will be implemented in the near future. 5. The link to Broadstairs station is more difficult to achieve. At present there is a temporary signed link that uses the High Street and Albion Street. However, the retention of this route in the longer term is inadvisable, as it is not suitable for an unsupervised 12 year old (which is the criteria required for any National or Regional Cycle Route). 6. On 19 March 2002 this Board considered a proposal for a permanent link, which included a contra-flow cycle lane in Lloyd Road and Lawn Road. Local residents rejected this proposal after public consultation, and therefore this Board took the view to abandon the scheme, and to consider alternatives as a part of the review of the Thanet Cycling Plan. Revised proposals for a permanent link 7. A revised permanent link was designed that attempted to deal with concerns raised in the original public consultation. This scheme is shown on Drawing No. 0004969/Y/1, and incorporates Option 1 for the route through the Vere Road coach and car park. It will cost approximately £40,000 to construct, and funding is currently available from the 2003-04 Thanet Urban Package. 8. A consultation document (attached as Appendix C) was sent out in March 2003 to 170 residents living on or close to the route of the cycle link, together with a questionnaire and an SAE for returning responses. These documents were also sent to local district and county members, as well as to a number of local organisations deemed to have an interest in this matter. In total, 64 completed questionnaires were received, representing a response rate of 34%. 9. Three questions were asked, relating to the three major changes to the route from the previous proposal. The questions were as follows: Question Reason for change from before Q1 Do you support the new footpath A contra-flow cycle lane in Lloyd through the Memorial Recreation Road and Lawn Road resulted in an Ground? unacceptable loss of on-street parking. Q2 Do you support widening the existing A contra-flow cycle lane in Lawn footway on the north side of Lawn Road Road resulted in an unacceptable for shared use by cyclists, between loss of on-street parking. Carlton Avenue and Vere Road? Q3 Do you support widening the existing The path was previously planned to footpath from Vere Road car park to be unsegregated, which lead to Alexandra Road, and segregating it for safety concerns being raised. use by pedestrians and cyclists? The response to these questions was as follows: Yes No Don’t know Q1 36 (56%) 26 (41%) 2 (3%) Q2 33 (52%) 29 (45%) 2 (3%) Q3 35 (55%) 28 (44%) 1 (1%) 1. It can be seen that the new route through the Memorial Recreation Ground has the strongest support amongst residents with 56% of respondents in favour, and is more popular than the contra- flow proposal, which in the previous consultation only attracted 44% support. 2. The new shared use path on the north side of Lawn Road has the least amount of support, with a slim majority of 52% of respondents in favour. It is therefore a slightly more popular option than a contra-flow cycle lane. However, only 30% of residents from Lawn Road who replied favour this shared path option. 3. The views of the public regarding the path through Culmer’s Field (adjacent to the allotments) have not changed a great deal, 55% of respondents now support its conversion to a cycle route, whereas previously 54% were in favour. 4. The following views were also received from non-resident consultees: Consultee Comment (brief summary) Response Broadstairs Recommends that the cycle route uses the High The route cannot use the High and St Peter’s Street.

Residents who were consulted were also given the opportunity to make specific comments. A summary of those with relevance to the proposals is attached as Appendix D. Conclusion 15. The revised scheme is more popular amongst residents than the previous proposal, however, a significant minority still remain opposed. 16. The scheme does not enjoy the support of either Broadstairs and St Peter’s Town Council or The Broadstairs Society, who would prefer to see the route use the High Street. For reasons previously discussed, this will not be possible without major changes to traffic management in the High Street. 17. The temporary signed route (High Street / Albion Street) is not suitable for an unsupervised 12 year old, which is the criteria required for any National or Regional Cycle Route. The temporary route was not intended to remain in use for the longer term. Therefore, if a permanent link cannot be agreed, the temporary link will have to be removed. This will leave Broadstairs as the only station in Thanet without a link, or the signs that are shown in Appendix A, and the opportunity to involve the town in this innovative tourism initiative will be lost. 18. As a result of the consultation, it has come to light that Culmer’s Field belongs to the Thanet Parochial Charities, who currently lease the land to Broadstairs and St Peter’s Town Council. Therefore, any further progress on the scheme is dependent upon their future co-operation. 19. Subject to the views of this Board, it is proposed to enter into further discussion with Broadstairs and St Peter’s Town Council, and the Thanet Parochial Charities, and then report back to the Board at the earliest opportunity.

    VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE AND ECONOMIC IMPACT A report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004 Introduction 1 Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes MBE opened the Viking Coastal Trail, a 28-mile multi-purpose cycle route around Thanet, on Sunday 10 June 2001. Total investment so far in design, construction and marketing is about £500,000 divided roughly equally between the County and District Councils 2 The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s “No. 1 cycle route”; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s ‘No. 1 Cycle Route’; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Trail website ( www.vikingcoastaltrail.co.uk ) received more than 10,000 ‘hits’ in 2003 and it is clear from observation and from anecdotal evidence that there are many more cyclists in Thanet than there were before 2001. Two separate studies have been carried out, as follows: • Babtie – use of the Trail, with data from automatic bicycle counters at Ramsgate and Westgate • Canterbury Christ Church University College – economic impact, with data from interviews with cyclists using the Trail and a survey of businesses along it. 3 The main findings from these studies are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs. Use of the Trail 4 Automatic bicycle counters – electro-magnetic devices that continuously count bicycles passing over them – were installed at Ramsgate and Westgate in June 2001. There are limitations on where the equipment can be placed, and the two locations are not necessarily the busiest on the Viking Coastal Trail, but the counters have been counting for 24 hours a day 365 days a year and a great deal of data is now available.

Bicycles occupy little space, save energy and cause no air or noise pollution. They are cheap to use and to provide for. Cycling is good exercise and is beneficial to individual health. 1.2 Policy Background Transport policy in the UK saw significant changes during the 1990s. A number of "milestone documents", for example The UK Strategy for Sustainable Development 1994 and PPG13: Transport recognised the importance of cycling, but The National Cycling Strategy 1996 firmly established cycling as "a central factor in offering an environmentally sustainable and health promoting local transport option". This policy shift towards a more integrated transport system and the recognition that there must be viable alternatives to private car travel, has been continued by the publication of the Government White Paper A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone in 1998 and the Transport Act in 2000.
