Kenilworth needs traffic diversion to achieve a sustainable future for its ton centre. Making the small section of Warwick road traffic free would link the existing two centres and significantly increase residence time of visitors. Traffic diversion routes make use of existing trafficked routes and thus minimise construction cost and neighbour disturbance.
One of the major impacts on the use of Kenilworth town centre is the heavy traffic through the town centre. This does and will continue to detract from this town as a shopping and leisure destination. Making the section of Warwick road from just past Barrow Road to the clock tower roundabout would significantly enhance the enjoyment of visiting and staying in the town centre. Traffic heading towards Birmingham would use the existing Bertie Road one way and complete through the car park by the community centre, traffic moving towards Leamington would feed off the clock tower roundabout and use the existing road through the car park behind the row of shops including HSBC. Again one way. Road improvements would be minimal and traffic passing only one way through existing car park structures. Sainsbury's car park up to Barrow Road would remain open to traffic but volumes reduced, aiding access to Sainsbury's. Kenilworth would then make use and enhance its existing niche shopping and food experience.
