Cycling is wanted in Kenilworth park where it is banned according to survey

QUOTE:
Hundreds of people in Kenilworth have said they want cycling in Abbey Fields where it is currently prohibited.

Of around 790 people who answered the question about cycling in a survey which was part of the public consultation into the future of Abbey Fields, about 80 per cent, or 632, said they wanted cycling to be allowed in the green space. According to the consultation document, of those in favour, there was 'a clear view that a separate cycle path is needed for Abbey Fields as the existing path infrastructure is not wide enough to allow safe duel usage'.

About 149 people were against cycling at the park and one person was neutral.

Adam Tranter, who set up Kenilworth's school cycle bus with his wife Aurélie, said: "I'm delighted to see that over 80 per cent of those who answered the question on the survey want to see cycling permitted in Abbey Fields.

"It's an essential route for us to cycle our children to school safely and new routes for cycling through the park would open up cycling as a solution for short journeys around town, as well as for enjoying the fields recreationally.
