Plans to open up a new 40-mile Coastal Path from Iwade to Grain have been unveiled by Natural England.
The new Coastal Path will create a continuous walk around the Estuary for the first time.
On Wednesday 15th January 2020, Natural England submitted a collection of reports to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs setting out the proposals for improved access to the coast between Iwade and Grain (IGR).
Natural England's discussions with landowners and key organisations have helped shape the proposed route and an 8 week public consultation period on the new path has now begun. The Iwade to Grain stretch will form just part of a whole new 2700-mile England Coast Path.
Natural England is now inviting farmers, residents, visitors, local organisations and businesses to submit their comments.
All comments must reach Natural England by midnight on Wednesday 11th March 2020.
All representations and objections will be considered before the Secretary of State makes a final decision about the reports.
If approved by the Secretary of State, work could start by the end of 2020.
The full reports for each stretch of the new proposed path along with information on how to comment, make a representation or an objection can be found at the link here >> http://bit.ly/30uPeqz with a list of locations where you can view the reports in person.
