*The Problem*
Since the first residents moved in during December 2025, access to
our homes via Allard Way travelling south-east has remained
restricted. Every resident is forced to travel approximately one
additional mile per journey to turn around and re-enter the
development from the north-west direction. This has been ongoing
for over six months and affects nearly 20+ households on a daily
basis, and further extending to new residents scheduled for
hand-over of their houses.
It is particularly troubling that access was a central issue raised
during the planning process itself — the first reserved
matters application was refused partly due to inadequate
manoeuvring and access provision — yet despite this scrutiny,
residents are still living with access restrictions more than six
months after the first occupancy.
*The Impact on Residents*
-> Significant unnecessary fuel costs incurred by every
household on every trip
-> Increased journey times and daily inconvenience for working
families, elderly residents, and those with accessibility
needs
Environmental impact from excess vehicle emissions caused by the
forced detour
-> Ongoing road safety concerns from increased vehicle movements
on surrounding roads
-> A clear breach of the planning conditions that residents
relied upon when purchasing their homes
*Our Demands*
We, the residents of the new Taylor Wimpey development on Allard
Way, Coventry, call upon Coventry City Council to:
-> Immediately investigate along the long pending actions on
completion of access road completion condition across OUT/2020/2665
and all related applications for this site.
-> Provide a formal response on this petition, on timeframe of
this completion of roadworks.
Copy to Councillors of Cheylesmore Ward for support on this.
