Kenilworth Active Travel Projects: Warwick Road, South of St Johns
Background
We are developing proposals to improve walking, wheeling and cycling facilities along Warwick Road in Kenilworth between Rouncil Lane and Wilkshire Road.
The proposed scheme is part of our programme of new cycle routes to enable more people to cycle for short local journeys, helping to tackle congestion, improve air quality, reduce carbon emissions, and support physical activity.
The project aims to improve connections between existing residential areas, local sports clubs and the wider cycle network, while encouraging more sustainable travel choices.
The new route will help improve connections between Kenilworth and Leek Wootton, as well as links to the town centre, school, train station and onwards to Coventry and the University of Warwick.
Scheme description
The proposed scheme would provide a continuous shared footway/cycle track along Warwick Road between Rouncil Lane and Wilkshire Road by converting or widening sections of existing footway, verge and carriageway space and involves the construction of a new crossing refuge across the Warwick Road close to the junction with Rouncil Lane. A further crossing will be installed across the mouth of the junction of the entrance for Kenilworth Cricket Club and Kenilworth Bridge Club.

Other projects
This scheme forms part of Warwickshire County Council's wider programme of walking, wheeling and cycling improvements across Warwickshire. The aim is to create safer and more attractive routes that enable more people to choose active travel for everyday journeys. Detailed proposals and scheme priorities are set out in the Warwickshire Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan.
Making it easier for people to walk, wheel and cycle for short local journeys will also help to tackle congestion, improve air quality, reduce carbon emissions, and support an increase in physical activity.
