Plans for a safe cycle link between Dawlish Warren and Dawlish town centre have been approved.

Work on the extension is scheduled to start in January 2016 and could be completed in time for next summer.

So it will be a shared use footway/cycle route.  I can see that ending badly.

So is, or isn't it, going through Lanherne?

Ah, more detail in there, thanks Ziggy.  It seems to be taking the route along the wall rather than through the path where the garden area is.  Once they come out at the bus stop there's still the dangerous bit round the bend and I can't see how they will get around that.  I still think the more sensible idea would have been to have the cycle path come out at Beach Street. They could have 'killed two birds' then by flattening the steps into a slope making it both cycle and wheelchair accessibility which would also help residents who currently have to 'dice with death' by crossing the Exeter Road with wheelchairs.
