Cheltenham Road Improvement Scheme

Overview

We are proposing to make some changes on Cheltenham Road and at the junction with Ivydale Road and Kelvington Road. These changes are planned to make the area safer and more convenient, especially for pedestrians, cyclists and bus passengers.

Proposed changes include:-

• wider pavements between Surrey Road and Ivydale Road, to improve walking conditions, encourage slower traffic and give road priority to buses.
• junction with Kelvington Road narrowed to slow traffic and provide a shorter crossing distance.
• disused driveway on north side to be removed and resurfaced.
• bus stop on south side of Cheltenham Road to be extended.
• new off-street loading bay on south side of Cheltenham Road.

Subject to any changes as a result of this consultation, the improvement works are likely to take place in Summer 2020, and will last for around 4-6 weeks.

We want to hear your views of these proposals and whether we have considered everything necessary to make this section of road safer and easier to use for all road users.
