Warwickshire County Council has advised of planned works to widen the shared footpath/cycle track in St Nicholas Park between Myton Road and Emscote Road.The work will be carried out in two phases with part one, Emscote Road to the River Avon bridge, between Monday 4 April and the end of May: the footpath/cycle track will be closed between Emscote Road and Pickard Street, with a local diversion for pedestrians signed in both directions. Cyclists will be directed to dismount.
For phase two (south side of the River Avon bridge), the footway will remain open but with restricted width. Cyclists will be requested to dismount as they pass through the restricted section.
Access to the Park and car park from Banbury Road will not be affected and will be available at all times.
The improvements to the footpath/cycle track, which is part of the National Cycle Network, will provide more space for users and is part of a programme of new schemes being developed by the County Council to encourage people to make local journeys by bicycle and improve air quality.
If your child uses this path please ensure they are aware of this work.
