Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
We asked for people's views on the existing cycle route on Druid Street.
Many people felt that this was a useful route for cycling and part of important east-west infrastructure.
However some residents and businesses in the area noted increased congestion and challenges with loading and deliveries.
We will be retaining the cycle lane, but also following up with local businesses to develop ideas to address the congestion issues.
What did local people want to see as the permanent traffic arrangements on Rye Lane?
61% of respondents preferred to keep the buses running two-ways on Rye Lane, though residents of Rye Lane itself, and younger people, would have preferred it to be one-way or even vehicle-free. Respondents also noted issues with rubbish, narrow pavements and street clutter.
We have proposed to retain the two-way buses on Rye Lane. We will be working with disabled people, and with other teams in the council to improve pavement conditions and accessibility on Rye Lane and side streets.

We asked people for their views on proposals to improve the look and feel of Browning Street and make it more accessible for people walking and cycling.
A large majority of you were satisfied that the designs did meet the needs of the community. You also gave us great feedback on how designs could be improved with more greenery.
Following feedback from the survey, we have made some changes to our proposal that better address your concerns and suggestions. We are currently finalising designs based on the feedback and hope for construction to start in summer 2023.
