Reform-led Council Omits Cycle Link in Highways Scheme

Warwickshire County Council has approved the design of an “upgraded” roundabout that sits between Bedworth and Coventry, just within the county border. The junction is an important link in the Coventry-Bedworth-Nuneaton urban corridor and indeed has been part of a long-planned cycle route. But with this roundabout design omitting a north-south cycle link, that route for active travel may be scuppered.

Decision due on part of the Nuneaton-Bedworth-Coventry cycle scheme

The long-awaited Nuneaton to Coventry “super cycleway” may take a small step forward later this week with a tiny part of the route being put to the Portfolio Holder for Transport for approval. This features as part of a broader programme of road improvements and covers the south-most section through Exhall – only about 0.55km (0.35mi) and with serious compromises in quality.

The barrier complaint – an update

Earlier this year I entered into a protracted complaint with the County Council about the sudden installation of a chicane barrier on a short piece of path that is vital for accessing a formal shared use route. Counting from the date of installation, the matter has been going on for almost seven months, so here’s a quick update.

Two weeks ago I pushed back against a dismissive complaint response from #WarwickshireCountyCouncil, asking for a proper reply by 11 September. This hasn't happened - not even an acknowledgement - so now I've emailed the Portfolio Holder for Transport asking if he'll look into it.

The seemingly unending chicane barrier issue raised with Warwickshire County Council continues as a manager finally responds to the escalated complaint detailed back in July. It’s taken a long time, and a lot of chasing to get this reply – but which still fails to properly consider the points originally raised back on 16 May 2024.

To briefly recap, in April the County Council installed a […]

Chronicling the protracted continuing saga of a new chicane barrier, installed suddenly and without warning in April 2024 by Warwickshire County Council, on a short path close to a formal shared use walking and cycling route – but without proper consideration to current legislation, design standards for accessibility, or its own policies regarding transport and active travel.
