You are here: Current Projects - Proposed Bridge
 |
The proposal for a new pedestrian and cycle footbridge has been around for several years, stemming from the Transport Strategy and subsequent inclusion in Stratford District Council’s Waterfront Master Plan in 2003. At that time there was also extensive public consultation on the Master Plan.
The proposed bridge is designed to provide a number of benefits, including:
- a direct link for pedestrians and cyclists from the recreation ground and residential areas of Bridgetown, past the theatre and into town, improving access to schools and businesses.
- a safe cycling route which links into the national cycle network
- better facilities for disabled people and those with pushchairs
- dispersal of congestion around the Bancroft Gardens
- a landmark feature which would be an attraction in its own right
- providing an additional vantage point to view the Holy Trinity Church, remodelled Theatre and the river itself.
The Warwickshire County Council have considered the results of recent consultation work and resolved to progress some detailed work on the proposed bridge. This will enable answers to be provided to the various concerns raised through the recent consultation exercise.
Further consultation work is planned before any firm commitment is made to the proposal. For further details of the bridge proposal please use the following link to the Warwickshire County Council website http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/Web/corporate/pages.nsf/Links/
