The survey and map have closed and you can now see the consultation report and themed responses in the documents section on the right hand side of this page.

Using your feedback we have developed some draft proposals which you can see at https://letstalk.coventry.gov.uk/elnproposals or by clicking the draft proposals text.


What is a Liveable Neighbourhood?

Earlsdon has been selected as a pilot project to develop Coventry’s first liveable neighbourhood, using funding from Active Travel England.

A Liveable Neighbourhood is somewhere where the streets are designed around people rather than traffic, enhancing the attractiveness of the neighbourhood and providing a better quality of life for the people who live and work there.

It is shaped by the community, through working with residents, businesses and organisations to understand local priorities and how you want your streets to look and feel.

Liveable Neighbourhoods can help to create:

  • Stronger communities
  • Better physical and mental health
  • More attractive neighbourhood
  • A reduction in through-traffic
  • Safer streets
  • Cleaner air
  • Greener environment
  • Opportunities to celebrate the cultural characteristics of an area


The benefits of Liveable Neighbourhoods

With your help, we want to find out what is good about Earlsdon, and what could be improved. We want to work collaboratively with you to develop your ideas and identify opportunities for making physical improvements across the zone to create a more liveable neighbourhood. However, all the ideas you share with us could result in benefits like these:

For communities

  • Closer communities, supported by quieter, safer streets
  • More attractive and accessible shared public spaces
  • Opportunities to socialise and shop more locally

For road users

  • Fairer access to street space for all users
  • Fewer people relying on private cars or vehicles to get around
  • A reduction in on-street non-residential parking helping to improve walking and cycling routes

For Earlsdon residents

  • Improved health and wellbeing, through increased physical activity
  • Reduced rat-running, through traffic and speeding
  • Better walking and cycling opportunities
  • Improved accessibility for those with visual and/or mobility impairments, providing safer and more pleasant places for everyone to get around

For families

  • Improvements to regular routes to support walking and cycling, for example between home and school
  • Better access to safe outdoor public space, encouraging active play
  • Improved air quality and less noise, leading to better public health

For businesses

  • Better air quality and less noise pollution on commercial streets, offering more opportunity for street-side dining, events, and cafe culture
  • More focus on the identity of local high streets and businesses
  • Less dependence on car parking provision for your customers

What could we do?

There is a range of measures we can explore and use to help reduce the impact of motor vehicles and encourage the use of other modes of travel, to create more Liveable Neighbourhoods. These will depend on the issues identified in each area, and how severely they affect people's quality of life, for example:

Quieter streets - measures to remove traffic from streets when it has now need to be there, and to reduce traffic speeds where traffic is still present, making the streets pleasanter for residents.

Community space - provide areas where people can gather for a chat, play games, and generally get together, and potentially create space for secure cycle parking, pocket parks and other community uses.

What happens now and next?

Now - tell us where you think we could make improvements by filling in the survey below and commenting on the map. The survey and map will be open until Sunday 12 February.

Friday 10 February 3pm to 5pm.

Next - we will review your feedback and hold some street audits, we will let you know when these are. All the information you give us will then be reviewed and we will make some suggestions about what we could do. We will then share those with you for you to tell us what you think.
