Statutory Consultation - 25 September 2024 to 20 October 2024

We now invite you to participate in the upcoming statutory consultation on the draft Traffic Order TG52/1568 for proposed changes as part of the Bowes East Quieter Neighbourhood. The statutory consultation closes at midnight on Sunday 20 October 2024.

In January and February 2024, we heard from the community on a proposed concept design for the Bowes East Quieter Neighbourhood, designed following engagement with local residents, businesses, and other stakeholders that took place in September and October 2023. This proposal aims to create a healthier, greener, and safer neighbourhood for all.

The proposals feature the following improvements as detailed in draft Traffic Order TG52/1568:

• A new School Street on Grenoble Gardens and Tottenhall Road to improve safety and air quality around St Michael-at-Bowes School and Tottenhall School during pick-up and drop-off times
• Implementation of greening and a continuous footway at the bottom of St Cuthberts Road to provide a more attractive environment and reduce the risk of flooding in the area
• Implementation of greening at the southern end of Fairbrook Road, next to the closure at Grenoble Gardens
• Introduction of a speed cushion on Melville Gardens to improve safety along the corridor.

We will also be introducing a no right turn westbound on Grenoble Gardens during PM-peaks (4pm - 7pm) on an experimental basis to reduce queues and improve safety in the area. This intervention will be delivered using an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO) which can be in place for up to 18 months. We have a statutory obligation to consult residents and businesses within the project area once the ETO is in place. We refer to this as delivering a ‘trial’ of this intervention. This allows us to make changes to this element of the scheme as we monitor how it operates in practice. We will inform residents of when this statutory consultation launches and how to take part once the ETO is in place.

Following the statutory consultation period, the Council will provide a formal response to any issues raised, and use the comments received as well as information from other monitoring activities to decide on whether to make changes to the scheme.

We look forward to hearing from you over the coming weeks.
