The Silkin Way- Old railway now footpath/#cycleway named after John Silkin Labour Politician. 1966 “In the long run, the #newtowns will be judged by the kind of citizens they produce, by whether they create this spirit of #friendship, #neighbourliness and #comradeship. That will be the real test, and that will be my objective so long as I have any responsibility for these new towns.”

Why city planning needs diverse perspectives.
Touring possible commuter cycling routes.
What I saw - Smooth pavement. Separate from traffic. Shade. Not too busy. Perfect.
