Coventry City Council has issued the following statement about the extension to Coundon Cycleway. The message has been sent to all residents that have contacted the Council about the scheme.
A Council spokesperson said, “We can confirm that the extension to Coundon cycleway will definitely not go through Coundon Wedge. We are currently looking at alternative routes and will write to nearby residents and set up another drop in session when we have new design options ready for discussion.
“In the meantime, we will continue with phase one of the work, linking Tamworth Road to the existing cycle lane on Coundon Wedge Drive including crossing points on Tamworth Road and Brownshill Green Lane. There will be no work on Northbrook Road.
“We hope this update clears up any concern about Coundon Wedge.
Coundon cycleway was the first segregated cycleway to be built in Coventry and the extension aims to extend the route and connect into the new housing development in Keresley. As part of the work there will also be a number of new crossings created which will make it easier and safer for pedestrians as well as cyclists. The route through Coundon park will also make it easier for people with mobility issues to enjoy areas of the park that are currently inaccessible.
