Wonder if anyone at the club has been informed :
The proposed route – which has been suggested for the last three years – would stretch from the A28 at Sturry, across to the A257 and then on to a new junction at the A2 at Bridge.
Taking in fields and woodland outside Fordwich, potentially through Canterbury Golf Club and on land between Bekesbourne and the eastern fringes of the city, the long route would be taken by drivers heading from Ashford to Thanet.
Cllr Fitter-Harding said: "Looking at the way Ghent in Belgium operates, you have to exit the centre if you want to get around the other side.
"An estimate for the cost of the eastern bypass would be about £100 million."
Analysts predict the two bypasses will decrease the number of vehicles on the ring-road by up to 900 in the morning rush hour.
