The Boniface Trail Group
The Boniface Trail Group is campaigning to promote cycling in
and around Crediton and to improve local cycling
infrastructure.
We are campaigning for a safe and accessible cycle route from
Crediton to Exeter. We want commuters, students and families
to be able to cycle the journey safely. We are working with
Devon County Council and Sustrans to identify opportunities to make
this idea a reality.
But we need your
help!
Our group meets regularly and you are welcome to join us. Check
our Facebook page (Boniface Trail Group) for the latest
information.
