The Abbey Fields in Kenilworth is an small oasis of tranquility in a busy town and enjoyed by many. It is not a urban park,but a historic area and was the grounds of St. Mary's Abbey. The proposal to run a cycleway through this valley will destroy the feeling of safety for members of the public especially those with very young children and the elderly,who are not so nimble. It would be naive to think that cyclists will stay on the designated paths; at present despite a byelaw which forbids the activity no-one to our knowledge has ever been prosecuted for doing so. It would be far better to improve facilities along the A452 Kenilworth to Leamington Road if there is money available from Sustrans instead of ruining Abbey Fields for ever.
