Fantastic! #Coventry is getting another cycle scheme, this time serving north of the city! It's one I'll be able to make use of without going out of my way to find it!

Now, where's the route that #Warwickshire_CC has funded and promised for years but not started yet? If our section ever gets built, that'll leave just Longford Road where riders need to mix with heavy traffic.

Long Shoot Cycle Scheme: Seven months ago, #Warwickshire_CC told me that legal orders/notices should be advertised in the spring, but I've not seen anything. Has the timetable slipped again? I've asked new questions so hopefully we'll find out!

After a near hour-long debate on Tuesday with some interesting comments, #Warwickshire_CC has approved its new Local Transport Plan, putting a clear emphasis on #ActiveTravel at the top of the transport hierarchy:

This is an extremely concerning move from #Warwickshire_CC as they permit (on a trial basis) the use of extension leads with cable covers over footpaths for EV charging. This will surely increase the trip risk and make wheeling difficult and uncomfortable

Weekend Listening - On the latest edition of the Fiets Podcast, I talk about the evident silos and divisions that exist in Warwickshire County Council, including with councillors, and how these appear to hold back even tiny improvements for active travel

Just seen the #ActiveTravelEng ratings for local authority plans, where #Warwickshire_CC has scored a (perhaps surprising) Level 2.

Funnily enough this comes on the day my next podcast comes out where I rant about the Council's poor consideration for cycling (stay tuned).

Another round of asking nicely from #WarwickshireCountyCouncil
which the problem selfish, antisocial drivers will ignore, assuming they're even aware in the first place.

Wondering if this could this be a source of funding for #WarwickshireCountyCouncil to trial some #SchoolStreets schemes in the county. It would seem to fit the remit of providing safer routes to school, at least based on this press release.

I've asked the question.

It's been over a year since #WarwickshireCountyCouncil last gave an update on the #A47 #LongShoot Cycle Scheme in #Nuneaton, with the project subject to delays. Now, the Council has provided further comment on progress in response to a new request for information.
