Bad news for active travel in Warwickshire as the County Council KILLS OFF part of its planned A47 cycle scheme in Nuneaton: https://fiets.uk/2024-10-20/county-council-kills-off-its-a47-long-shoot-cycle-scheme/

Back in December 2023, Warwickshire County Council stated that it had paused development of a mostly separated cycle scheme to run alongside the A47 from its junction with the A5 towards Nuneaton town centre. Now, the Council’s Forward Plan published in October 2024 shows the decision on the scheme as “Abandoned” and it has been suggested that the Long Shoot portion of the planned route may not be going ahead.

ICYMI - Was it right for #WarwickshireCountyCouncil to cite "the level of community support" as one of its reasons for pausing development on the separated cycleway alongside the busy A47?

Following a protracted request for information on the pausing of the A47 Long Shoot Cycle Scheme in Nuneaton, we now have some more information about the scheme, including funding and consultation comments – but questions remain about what happens next.

Warwickshire County Council has stated that it is pausing development of its often-delayed Long Shoot Cycle Scheme and its Hinckley Road scheme in Nuneaton. The reasoning for this decision has been attributed both to levels of community support and a funding shortfall.

Cycle scheme update: last month I asked for the status of Nuneaton's Long Shoot cycle route, and the response has arrived... it's delayed again, to 2024.

The wait for construction on Warwickshire’s high quality cycle scheme alongside the A47 Long Shoot in Nuneaton continues as the local authority has confirmed another delay to the project. While the scheme is still expected to proceed, it is now hoped that construction on the 1.4km route will begin early in 2024.

Long Shoot Cycle Scheme: Seven months ago, #Warwickshire_CC told me that legal orders/notices should be advertised in the spring, but I've not seen anything. Has the timetable slipped again? I've asked new questions so hopefully we'll find out!

ICYMI: A quick look at a new bit of shared-use path + toucan crossing that will eventually be part of a longer main road cycleway in #Nuneaton. Unfortunately designed before current standards, it does have problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAMxa2mseV8

A quick look at the new junction that has been installed on the A47 Long Shoot, Nuneaton, and the new bit of (as yet unconnected) shared use space and toucan crossing. This will eventually form part of a broader high quality cycle route on the A47, though this specific junction predates the plans for the cycle scheme – hence the lower quality design.

This time on The Fiets Podcast: A quiet end to the year for my own cycling activities, and looking forward to 2023. Will we see the Longshoot cycle scheme break ground? Will other local schemes continue to develop? And planning to explore new infrastructure in Coventry.
