We the undersigned petition the Council to install Road Traffic Safety Measures on Shilton Lane, Lentons Lane and Woodway Lane due to the volume of high speeding traffic, particular note should be taken of the extreme speeds being reached by a minority over some years.
Speeding traffic along this route has resulted in several road traffic accidents, specifically in December 2021, December 2023 and now again in July 2025, resulting in a fatality.
We, therefore call upon Coventry City Council, Warwickshire County Council and West Midlands Police to prioritise resources and funding to ensure all appropriate road traffic safety measures are installed within the next 3 months.
We request that West Midlands Police and Coventry City Council
take tough action on dealing with the level of drug taking and
‘boy racers’ using Sowe Common car park during the day
and night, for the safety and enjoyment of local
residents.’
Shilton Lane has sat on Coventry City Council's priority list
for an Average Speed Camera for several years, without any action
taken, even though several serious accidents have taken place on
this route over recent years.
