Some Warwickshire County Council (WCC) councillors want save money by installing a pelican crossing instead of the bridge on the route, which links Kenilworth Castle, Abbey Fields, Burton Green, Berkswell, Crackley Woods and Warwick University as well as connecting into the national Sustains network.

The bridge will provide a safer crossing for pedestrians and cyclists over the busy A429 Coventry Road compared to a pelican crossing.

Sustrans has now agreed to add £100,000 to their original offer, provided the bridge is included in the project.

The local campaign has 900 of the 1200 signatures required to force the WCC to reconsider their decision to halt all work on this project

You can sign the petition online asap so the issue is discussed at the WCC area meeting on October 12.
