Earlsdon Liveable Neighbourhood

Welcome to the Earlsdon Liveable Neighbourhood project page.  Here you can see the latest information on the construction of the scheme.

Find out more about the final proposals and the consultation that took place.

26 June update 

There will be a full one-day closure with diversions in place on Belvedere Road at the junction of Broadway to install a raised table to slow traffic and improve the pedestrian crossing route into the park.

24 June update 

Work to install the toucan crossing on Albany Road and the extension of the existing cycleway has been temporarily paused due to a high-voltage cable needing further work. In the meantime, improvement works will begin on narrowing the road on the Hartington Crescent/Beechwood Avenue mini roundabout to reduce the speed of cars. Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDs) will also be installed. Work is expected to last three weeks and three-way traffic lights will be in place.

28 May update 

Construction has now started.

Beechwood Avenue will be closed for three weeks from 4 June, between Bates Road and Styvechale Avenue. This is to enable us to construct the traffic calming at the Tennis Club entrance, improve the guardrailing at the bend between the Tennis Club and the Golf Club, and to construct the new pedestrian island at the Golf Club. Diversions will be in place, and access for residents and affected frontages will remain.

Please note that sometimes a permit might be requested for longer than the work will take to allow for unforeseen weather and ground conditions.

See below for previous construction updates.

May 2024 update

Construction starting soon

We have finished the statutory consultation on the Earlsdon Liveable Neighbourhood scheme, the third round of public engagement on the project since we first went out to the local community in December 2022.  This means we are now ready to start work to implement the improvements.

Find out more about the final proposals and the consultation that took place.

We will be starting construction on Tuesday 28 May and you may have already seen some activity while we have been getting ready to start.

The work will be phased so that we can minimise disruption.  Work around the schools will take place during holidays, and where possible we will avoid working during major events. This includes Motofest on 1 and 2 June when we will make sure any traffic management for Earlsdon Liveable Neighbourhood is removed during the festival.

Phase one of the work will include:

  • Toucan crossing on Albany Road and extension of the existing cycleway - a Toucan crossing under the railway bridge on Albany Road opposite Spencer Park. This work is expected to take approximately two months and will need some two-way and four-way traffic lights at times
  • Traffic calming features on Beechwood Avenue at the tennis club, improvements to the guard railing at the bend between the tennis club and golf club, and a new pedestrian island at the golf club
  • Raised table at the junction of Broadway and Belvedere Road to slow traffic and improve the pedestrian crossing route into the park.

If you have any questions about the works, please email the project team or phone 024 7697 6544.

Further updates on phasing will be provided on this page.
