Kenilworth residents, visitors, and Abbey Fields park users have been invited to share their views on new proposals for Abbey Fields as part of the ‘A Path for Our Future’ public consultation.
The proposals include plans for a new accessible, shared-use path designed to improve connections across Abbey Fields and enhance the space for all users. The scheme has been developed in partnership with Warwick District Council, Warwickshire County Council, and Sustrans (a UK-based walking, wheeling and cycling charity). The aim is to support active travel, protect the park’s historic character, and ensure everyone can continue to enjoy the park.
Simon Storey, Bicycle Mayor for Warwick District is encouraging everyone to respond to the consultation. He said:
“Do you like cycling in Kenilworth ?
“Then as Bicycle Mayor of Warwick District I urge you to fill out this survey about the proposed shared use cycle path through Abbey Fields.
“When there are surveys and consultations like this, many who are in favour don’t fill them in, whereas those in opposition do, which can skew the results.
“So please do fill it in, and give your view.
“Cycle infrastructure is needed everywhere, and some projects are more obvious than others, this is one of them in my opinion.”
The consultation closes on Wednesday, 12 June 2025. WDC want to hear from everyone who enjoys Abbey Fields – whether you walk, wheel, cycle, run, play, or simply relax in the park.
