New Malden to Raynes Park C31 - more photos

A real triumph and it will be even better when the landscaping is completed and all the displaced birds and bugs and other creatures return to rebuild their habitats on the margins of the path.

The route was opened by Dr. Will Norman, London's Walking and Cycling Commissioner, with speeches by Lib. Dem. Councillor and environmental activist Hilary Gander, and (sorry ?).

The Mayor, Cllr Margaret Thompson with her consort and husband Richard, both keen cyclists, were present and very much into the spirit of the occasion.

The project has been a collaboration of Royal Burough of Kingston's 'Go Cycle' programme with Sustrans and I would say, keen participation from the Kingston Cycling Campaign.
