Feedback wanted on plans for cycle path along main route into Leamington town centre

Residents and visitors are being asked for their views on plans for a cycle path along Kenilworth Road in Leamington.

Warwickshire County Council is proposing a new cycle track that will provide a continuous off-road cycle route alongside the A452.

This route will run between Binswood Avenue and Northumberland Road and connect with a new signed cycle route along Beauchamp Road and Binswood Avenue, between Leamington town centre and Kenilworth Road.

The Kenilworth Road Cycle Route is one part of a Active Travel project to provide a 5km walking, wheeling and cycling route alongside the A452 between Kenilworth and Leamington (K2L).

This includes a new foot and cycle bridge across the River Avon near Chesford Grange.

The Kenilworth Road Cycle Route is the first scheme within K2L Section 1: Leamington Spa town centre to Bericote roundabout.

Cllr Wallace Redford, Warwickshire County Council portfolio holder for transport and planning, said: “I hope as many of our residents as possible take the many opportunities – both online and in person – to engage with these detailed plans and give us their feedback as we work together for a Warwickshire that is sustainable now and for future generations."
