Earlswood Lakes – The Causeway Trial Closure
Results updated 10 Sep 2026
Based on the unprecedented response we received from informal engagement, and whilst we recognise the weight of feeling both for and against closing The Causeway, there was a majority who supported the proposed trial closure and as such we will develop a proposal for a trial in 2027. The trial proposal will be informed by the feedback received through the engagement. We will release further details about the trial closure, including information on the formal consultation process, in due course.
For further information on the project please contact highwaysbusinesssupport@warwickshire.gov.uk.

Overview
The Causeway (the three roads around the lakes comprising the end of Malthouse Lane and Valley Road) is a unique feature of Earlswood Lakes. Currently it serves as a single-lane road, which can create conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians, anglers, equestrians and cyclists.
We are exploring an 18‑month trial closure of The Causeway to general traffic, turning it into a safer, quieter route for people using Earlswood Lakes, while maintaining emergency and essential access through controlled arrangements. Your views will help shape whether and how this trial goes ahead.
The interactive map and plan below show the location.
