The first phase of community engagement was held in September 2023.

We are now carrying out the statutory consultation which will take place between 1 and 22 December 2023.

As part of this process we are required to consult with the emergency services, place notices on-site and in the local paper in accordance with our obligations under Sections 90A to 90F of the Highways Act 1980, The Highways (Traffic Calming) Regulations 1999.

You can also submit your comments online or email the project team at [email protected].

Following the statutory consultation we will develop the proposals based on what residents and stakeholders within the area tell us.

If the feedback shows people support the proposals, we will begin the process of designing and implementing the traffic calming measures, and we will update you again to confirm the proposal.

We cannot currently confirm when construction work will take place because the final design has not been completed.

Once the consultation and designs have been completed, we will inform key stakeholders such as residents and organisations of the next steps.

Through the annual budget setting process the we will prioritise funding totalling £1.1 million.

This is to be funded from corporately available capital funding (such as capital receipts that we have generated and Council reserves) and is separate from the Opportunity Bucks programme.
