Chairman/CEO of AWSL Mr. Kevin Bagnall stated: "The Trans Pennine Trail is under the authorization of a number of Yorkshire and Derbyshire councils in the region, all of whom are determined to benefit the environment and the community in every way possible. They have now witnessed the multitude of environmental benefits that Flexi®-Pave has brought to the trail. It is their goal to keep enhancing the trial in a way in which only KBI's proprietary Flexi®-Pave can provide.
