Connect2 Kenilworth - our full scheme (with the bridge) is saved!

Message from John Whitehouse

Dear All,

See below hyperlink to a WCC press release issued today, confirming that an agreement has been reached which means that the Connect2 Kenilworth scheme can be completed as planned, including the bridge over the A429 Coventry Road.

This is fantastic news!

My heartfelt thanks to all for your messages of support over recent weeks, and to everyone who signed the petition. As the clearest possible expression of ongoing public support for this project, I believe that the petition made a big impact, and helped us to achieve the positive outcome announced today.

I would like to express my personal thanks to the three people who were the driving forces behind the petition: Deirdre Vernon who started it, Howard Easton who created the online version, and Clive Taylor who organised the two signing events in Abbey End. Getting 1,700 signatures in such a short space of time was an amazing achievement, and I am sure that if it had been necessary to carry on they could have obtained many more.

At the WCC Full Council meeting tomorrow Cllr Alan Cockburn will announce the go-ahead to complete the scheme, and Howard Easton will present the petition formally to the Council.

Thanks again to everyone. We now plan to crack on with the scheme without further delay!

Kind Regards,

John Whitehouse
Chair - Connect2 Kenilworth Steering Group
