We’d like to hear your thoughts on proposals for a new two-way cycleway between the A41/Ploughley Road junction and London Road/Launton Road junction together with new footway and zebra crossings.
The plans would make it easier and safer to travel between the town centre, the Graven Hill and the southern end of Wretchwick Green housing developments and the Symmetry business park without relying on a private car for those trips.
- A new two-way cycleway, separated from both motor vehicles and pedestrians, between the fuel station by the level crossing and Rodney House roundabout. Wherever possible, the cycleway and footway will be separated, but there are some sections where it is not legally wide enough to do this, and the path will be shared-use for these narrower sections.
- New pavement for pedestrians along the west side of London Road from Talisman roundabout to Rodney House roundabout.
- A new pedestrian and cyclist zebra crossing on Talisman Road
- A new raised pedestrian and cyclist zebra crossing on London Road by Langford Brook
- Entry treatments at side roads so that pedestrians and cyclists remain at pavement level and vehicles ramp up and down
- Extending the 30mph speed limit on London Road up to Rodney House roundabout.
- A new pedestrian crossing island to help people cross to and from the bus stop near Rodney House Roundabout.
- No changes to Rodney House roundabout itself – where there are existing crossing with lights for people walking, wheeling and cycling to access Graven Hill Road and the wider development.
Works will be delivered in phases, subject to funding.
It is intended that section 1 will be designed and built first. Your feedback on all stages will help to form designs for the further sections which will then be used towards seeking funding to develop those sections as well.
