Wood Vale improvements

Consultation summary

Public consultation on these proposals took place from 5 November 2019 to 3 December 2019. All residents living with the effected area were sent consultation letters (212 addresses) and any other interested parties also were invited to comment on the proposals via the council website. 

The consultation outcome is as follows:

• the majority of those who responded were in support of the introduction of raised tables and new pedestrian crossing opportunities
• the majority of those who responded were in support of the replacement of cushions with humps and the removal of existing traffic islands
• the majority of those who responded were in favour of the introduction of priority working in 2 locations
• the vast majority of those who responded were in favour of refurbishing the footways

Concerns were raised by some that proposed measures would:

• increase traffic queues and pollution;
• not improve crossing conditions for pedestrians; and
• not be strict enough to be successful

Based on the high number of positive responses received we do not recommend making any changes to the outline design. Small changes may need to be made following the road safety audit however, this will not require any further decision making or consultation.
