Warwickshire County Council (WCC) is consulting on a proposed new cycle route on the Warwick Road in Kenilworth. The consultation closes on 28th September 2026.
This is WCC’s summary of the scheme: “We are developing proposals to improve walking, wheeling and cycling facilities along Warwick Road in Kenilworth between Rouncil Lane and Wilkshire Road. The proposed scheme is part of our programme of new cycle routes to enable more people to cycle for short local journeys, helping to tackle congestion, improve air quality, reduce carbon emissions, and support physical activity.
“The project aims to improve connections between existing residential areas, local sports clubs and the wider cycle network, while encouraging more sustainable travel choices. The new route will help improve connections between Kenilworth and Leek Wootton, as well as links to the town centre, school, train station and onwards to Coventry and the University of Warwick. Further proposals (to provide a cycle route northwards from Rouncil Lane and connections to the Kenilworth to Leamington (K2L) Cycle Route) will be shared … when they are available.”
