Isle of Wight residents being encouraged to share thoughts on new section of the coastal path
The stretch of coastline between East Cowes and Wootton Bridge would form part of plans to create a continuous walking route
Isle of Wight residents are being encouraged to share their thoughts on proposals for a new section of the King Charles III England Coast Path.
The stretch of coastline between East Cowes and Wootton Bridge would form part of plans to create a continuous walking route along the entire English coast.
A public consultation is set to close at midnight on Wednesday 22 October.
Councillor Julie Jones-Evans, who chairs the Isle of Wight Council’s economy, regeneration, transport and infrastructure committee, said: "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to influence how our coastline is opened up to the public.
“If you care about access, the environment, or how our Island is experienced by future generations, now is the time to speak up.”
Once completed, Natural England say the King Charles III England Coast Path will span more than 2,700 miles.
Natural England's inviting feedback from residents, landowners, walkers and anyone with an interest in the Island's coastline.
