The size and location of the Thickthorn development will, despite of road improvements, make matters worse for Kenilworth town, residential areas around Birches Lane and Glasshouse Lane and traffic flow between Leamington and the north.
I am retired but walk daily in Kenilworth along Birches Lane and Warwick Road at various times of day and regularly drive to Leamington.
Re:THICKTHORN DEVELOPMENT'
Kenilworth lacks a by-pass and it's centre (Warwick Road) is already ruined and unsafe for visitors, residents and vehicles alike due to massive conjestion so why plant 770 houses, businesses etc. at Thickthorn? This can only make the situation worse as it impacts on the already troublesome junctions at the A46 roundabout, Leamington Road and St.Johns.
Without exaggeration over 75% of vehicles using Birches Lane and Glasshouse Lane exceed the speed limit by a substantial margin despite electronic warning signs.The T junctions at Windy Harbour and Farmer Ward Road are particularly dangerous. With no access from the 2 mile A46 border ALL additional traffic will use Birches Lane and Glasshouse Lane.
