Residents can now have their say on plans to improve walking and cycling routes along Harbury Lane.

Last year, Warwickshire County Council (WCC) announced that £1.4 million in funding had been secured to make travel to and from the new schools safer.

The money, from Active Travel England, will be used to improve connections between Europa Way and Tachbrook Road.

Proposals include improved crossings, new footways and cycle tracks, and upgraded footpaths and lighting. 

WCC said the works are also needed to help support the number of houses being built in the area.

Cllr Jan Matecki, portfolio holder for transport and planning at WCC, said: "We want to ensure that people of all ages can travel safely on foot and by bike to the new homes and schools being built around Harbury Lane.

"This project is a great opportunity to fill in some missing links and upgrade existing paths and crossings. 

"I would encourage local residents to take a look at the plans and let us know what you think, so that we can provide high quality facilities that meet the aspirations of this growing community."

Locals can now have their say on the plans until September 29 on the council's website.

There will also be an opportunity to find out more at the following events:

  • Tuesday 22 August between 11.30am and 1.30pm at Heathcote Community Centre, Cressida Close CV34 6DZ. Bike security marking and free bike checks will also be available, and there is a Wellbeing Walk starting at 11am.
  • Saturday 2 September 2023, 10am to 5pm at the Pump Room Gardens, Leamington Spa CV32 4AA. Please visit the WCC stand at Leamington EcoFest
  • Tuesday 5 September between 2.30pm and 4.30pm at Lower Heathcote Co-Op, Vickers Way CV34 7BR. Bike security marking and free bike checks will also be available.
