Millfield Lane

We have now made the trial changes on Millfield Lane permanent, keeping Millfield Lane one way, northbound for motor traffic, and two way for cyclists as well as widening the pavement at the southern end of the street.

In October/November 2021 we ran a consultation on the changes we proposed for this area. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their views. We had over 140 responses to our consultation and you can read the decision report relating to this which includes our feedback to the responses.

The consultation and feedback during the trial period, highlighted concerns about road safety for pedestrians using these streets and difficulties with vehicles passing. We are therefore also creating additional spaces for safe passing places for drivers and measures to improve visibility for all road users, as well as additional pavement widening at the northern end of Millfield Lane to assist pedestrians crossing to the Heath. These changes will help to improve road safety for all road users.  You can read the decision report relating to this changes.
