De...From a second email from Cllr John Whitehouse:<br /><br />Despite last week's temporary reprieve it seems that Cllr Alan Cockburn, the Warwickshire County Council Cabinet member responsible, remains of the view that building the planned pedestrian/cycling bridge over the A429 Coventry Road would be seen as an extravagance by the public in these straitened times. This is despite a generous Sustrans offer of additional support, which would make it almost cost-neutral to Warwickshire County Council whether they completed the scheme with or without the bridge.<br /><br />How does he know what the public thinks? Supporters of the ‘Keep Our Greenway’ campaign in Burton Green have started a petition asking for the project to be completed as planned.<br /><br />A massive response to the petition will force the Warwickshire County Council Cabinet to reconsider. Under new legislation a petition of 1,000 signatures can be presented to the full Council, 1,200 signatures can require a debate by the Warwick Area Committee, while 5,000 signatures can require a debate by the full Council.<br /><br />http://www.connect2kenilworth.org.uk/George Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515037929935424227noreply@blogger.com
