Respondent: Kenilworth Society

Representation Summary:

We support the growth of the Cycle network, however the majority of our members object strongly to any provision of a cycle network through the historic grounds of Abbey Fields as currently shown as proposed/awaiting implantation on Map 5. Abbey Fields has important historic and archaeological significance, and is the major recreational space for the Town, extensive used by elderly, mothers and children, and families. This is no place for cyclists. There is a good road network surrounding the historic park which can be used for the Sustrans cycle route link.
