Thanet Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan

The Thanet Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (Thanet CWIP) aims to create safe and easy routes for everyone to cycle and walk, connecting different areas across the district. Improving walking and cycling routes will help increase road safety, improve air quality and health, make places more accessible, boost the local economy and help Thanet reach its net zero goals.

You can read the draft Thanet CWIP here, and send us any feedback using our Your Voice website.

Appendix 1 outlines the route audits that were carried out during the project development phase.

Appendix 2 outlines how the proposed routes will be prioritised.

Thanet District Council has been working on this Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (CWIP), since 2021 in partnership with Sustrans, a charity focused on making it easier for everyone to walk and cycle. There has been a lot of public engagement during that time.

People are now invited to share their feedback on the draft Thanet CWIP, including the proposed network of walking and cycling routes, and the priorities within the plan.

The online survey is open until 5pm on Sunday 17 August 2025.
