Warwickshire County Council is reminding all residents and local businesses in Kenilworth to give their views on the plans for a new transport corridor between the A46 Stoneleigh Junction, the University of Warwick and Westwood Heath in an ongoing issues and options consultation exercise.

The consideration of a new transport corridor to the south of Coventry will investigate opportunities to improve access to University of Warwick and existing business parks, as well as linking to new and existing housing and employment, with the aim of reducing congestion on the A45 and A46.

Plans are still in the early stages, with indicative scheme proposals identified. WCC want local people to share their views on transport priorities for this area.

WCC is consulting on three main options:

1. No infrastructure improvements

1. New link road to A429 Kenilworth Road

1. New link road to south of Coventry and University of Warwick

The new transport corridor is part of a strategic long-term plan for sustainable growth in this region. These plans include wider cycle networks for Warwickshire and Coventry and improved access to other methods of travelling.

The consultation will close at Midnight on Sunday 14 February 2021 so there are only a few days left for people to have their say.

Cllr Jeff Clarke, Portfolio Holder for Transport and Highways, said: "The A46 Strategic Link Road Scheme is an exciting project that will bring tangible economic benefits to the County and the wider sub-region. In addition to this, it will also relieve congestion on smaller highways leading to the University of Warwick and Westwood Heath.

"I would urge as many residents as possible get involved in this consultation exercise to ensure their voices are heard before the Consultation closes on Sunday 14 February 2021. Working together, in partnership, we can ensure that our communities continue to be supported by the excellent transport infrastructure that they deserve."
