Project information & FAQs

Project introduction

This scheme aims to improve and enhance access for local residents to safer and better walking, cycling and wheeling routes.We&rsquo;re looking at potential improvements to the active travel access between Warmley and Longwell Green. The Warmley to Longwell Green section of the A4174, has some existing active travel routes which help to connect Warmley and Longwell Green, however a section of this route (between Tower Lane and Marsham Way) doesn&rsquo;t currently have high quality options for people cycling, walking and wheeling and is a missing link in local connectivity.&nbsp;The travel corridor between Longwell green and Warmley connects local communities to work, schools, shops, and recreation. It also links the areas between Longwell Green and Warmley into wider travel networks like the National Cycle Network and Bristol and Bath Railway Path.We&rsquo;re looking at changes and updates that will make the current routes safer and more appealing, with improved accessibility for walking, cycling and wheeling. Encouraging communities to choose active travel to make their journeys over other options.&nbsp;We investigated and analysed a number of route options for joining up the Tower Lane to Marsham Way section of the A4174 for people travelling actively, the analysis clearly demonstrated two routes as the best options for improvement - we are proposing to make improvements to both; a section of the existing Ring Road Path which is part of National Cycle Network Route 416 and a length of Craven Way which runs parallel to the Ring Road Path.

The proposals

We&rsquo;re proposing a combination of improvements as follows:&nbsp;<ul><li>to the Ring Road path which runs from the A420 at Warmley to the A431 Stone Hill on the Hanham on the boundary of Longwell Green&nbsp;</li><li>to a section of Craven Way which runs parallel to the Ring Road Path</li></ul>A map of the proposed improvements is shown below.

Feedback Survey

We want to hear your views on proposed improvements to cycling, walking and wheeling (using a wheelchair, mobility scooter or pushing a buggy) access between Warmley and Longwell Green.&nbsp;The Warmley to Longwell Green section of the A4174 Ring Road is currently a missing link for local connectivity as a key section of the Ring Road that doesn&#39;t have high quality walking and cycling routes alongside it. This route not only connects local communities with work, schools, shops and recreation but also links into the wider travel network like the Bristol and Bath Railway Path.A review of options for improving walking and cycling connectivity in this area identified two routes as the best opportunities for improvement; a section of the existing Ring Road Path and a length of Craven Way which runs parallel to the Ring Road Path. We&rsquo;re now looking to make improvements on both of these routes.&nbsp;Your feedback will help us to finalise our suggested improvements and adapt our plans so that they are tailored to the local community.&nbsp;

A summary of the proposals for both routes can be seen in the map below.

Current use of the route

We&#39;d like to know about how or if you currently use either of the Craven Way or Ring Road Path routes and if you have any comments or concerns about the existing facilities.

Your feedback on the proposals

We would like to understand relative support for different aspects of the proposals.&nbsp; Below is a before/after image showing what the crossing on Marsham Way looks like now and what it could look like should the proposals go ahead.&nbsp;

Below is a before/after image showing what Craven Way &nbsp;looks like now and what it could look like should the proposals go ahead.&nbsp;

To improve safety, we&#39;re looking at reducing the speed limit along Craven Way between Fountains Drive and Tower Lane. The speed limit along this section of Craven Way would be reduced from 30mph to 20mph.&nbsp;

We are proposing to remove an existing car parking layby on Lacock Drive which currently directly crosses the entrance/exit of the existing Ring Road path (see photo below). This is to make sure the route can always be accessed by cyclists, wheelchair users or those with pushchairs or other mobility aids.

We&#39;re looking at removing the current chicane barriers shown below (left) and replacing them with single bollards (right) to make the existing Ring Road Path more accessible for people travelling with pushchairs, wheelchairs, and bikes.&nbsp;

We&#39;re looking at installing more lighting along sections of the existing Ring Road Path to make it easier and safer to use the route after dark.
