Thank you so much to everyone for your support and generosity over the last 24 hours - you’ve been wonderful. Bless you all.

[Crowdfunder UK @crowdfunderuk]

On why they're crowdfunding, Nicky from @GreenwayDevon said, "We need to get on our bikes and out of our cars and that's the motivation for this." #BackTheFuture @DevonCC

[Crowdfunder UK @crowdfunderuk]

Now we're hearing from Tabbin on why they pledged their support to the @GreenwayDevon project! "For the good of the people in our area, giving people more opportunity to get out and about is a really good thing and to allow them to do that safely." #BackTheFuture @DevonCC

[Crowdfunder UK @crowdfunderuk]

We've got some great answers to the questions from our judges! "To have the option for sustainable travel would be fantastic. In terms of a wider economic benefit, the @GreenwayDevon project is far more than a multi-use trail, it's a thread that connects our two communities."

[Crowdfunder UK @crowdfunderuk]

Next up we have @GreenwayDevon. By creating a new multi-use trail between #Chagford and #Moretonhampstead, they will help to reduce the dependence on cars across the area, encouraging green exercise and carbon reduction! #BackTheFuture @DevonCC

Many thanks you for your support.

With 9 hours to run for the crowdfunder, it's a great opportunity to talk about some of the benefits of improvements to rural infrastructure, and why we think the Greenway Project is important, both locally and nationally.
So there follows a thread...

[The Greenway Project @GreenwayDevon]

It is for this reason that the next phase of the project - to carry out detailed landowner consultations, environmental surveys and route impact assessments - is absolutely vital to ensure that the project is as low impact as possible.
