A47 Cycle Link to Walmley

This page is currently closed for comments. Thank you for all of the views and suggestions submitted so far. These will now be analysed and help to inform the next set of proposals to be bought forward for delivery during 2021. More details will be shared later this year and there will be further public consultation on any future changes.

Last year we introduced a number of temporary ‘pop-up’ cycle routes across the city to provide safer space for cycling. One of these was on the A47 corridor between the city centre and Fort Dunlop.

Through the Active Travel Fund, we have an opportunity to add to and extend our cycle network and deliver safer, greener and healthier ways of getting around the city as part of the Birmingham Walking & Cycling Strategy & Infrastructure Plan .

This new route will link key employment sites at Bromford, Fort Dunlop and Castle Bromwich to a large residential area along the Chester Road (Castle Vale, Tyburn and Erdington) and Eachelhurst Road (Walmley).

We want to hear from you on how this new cycle link should be developed and designed.

You can add as many comments as you like, until Friday 16 April 2021.

The next set of proposals will be informed by your comments and suggestions and then, following public consultation, further changes will be delivered over the coming year.
