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.
