A date has now been set for the opening of the Spitfire Way link road in Hawkinge.

The road which was due to be completed around February 2007 has been dogged by delays and will finally be open to traffic on Monday 9 July.

Folkestone and Hythe MP Michael Howard will be cutting the ribbon at 10.15am after which pupils from The Churchill School will take part in an inaugural cycle ride on bicycles which will be presented to the school by Norman Sharpe from George Wimpey South East Ltd.

The relief road should ensure that fewer vehicles use Canterbury Road in the village centre, and planners have installed road signs which will guide through traffic along Spitfire Way.
