A £250,000 investment has seen Warwickshire Rural Housing Association make major improvements to the A3400 through Wootton Wawen to improve the safety of residents.
The work has been carried out as part of WRHA’s Keyte Gardens scheme which is set to become Warwickshire’s first Passivhaus affordable housing development of ultra low energy homes.
Working in partnership with Waterloo Housing Group and developer, Bouygues UK, WRHA has built 12 properties for affordable rent and two for shared ownership in Wootton Wawen, to meet local housing need.
Now a pedestrian crossing refuge has been installed so residents can split their crossing into two stages. The refuge also means the road narrows which will help reduce the speed of vehicles on the A3400.
New road markings have also been painted including a clear 30 mile symbol to deter drivers from speeding through the village.
A new footpath has been installed which leads all the way from the new development to the village bus stop and new pavements have been completed.
Several new street lighting columns have also been erected to improve visibility. Previously, there were no street lights along this stretch of the A3400.
