New River to Brick Lane - Response to Objections in Statutory Consultation (TG52/1591)

Thank you to everyone who took part in the statutory consultation on Phase 2 of the New River to Brick Lane Walking and Cycling Route. Your feedback is appreciated and has helped to inform the Council’s consideration of the proposals.

Phase 2 of the scheme includes:

• Additional rain gardens along Brick Lane
• Improvements to the Brick Lane/Hertford Road junction to provide a safer cycling connection to Cycleway 1
• New continuous footways on side streets including Gough Road, Wolsley Road, Barnard Road, Orchardleigh Avenue, Yeoman’s Way, and Cuba Drive
• Removal of footway parking at several junctions along Brick Lane
• Junction improvements at Brick Lane/Hammond Road and Brick Lane/Mapleton Road

The decision on whether Phase 2 will progress to implementation (including the Marking of the above Traffic Order) is currently dependent on securing additional funding.

The Council’s formal response to objections received during the statutory consultation has now been published and can be viewed here.

Thank you once again for your engagement with this project. Journeys and Places and the Council remain committed to keeping the community informed and will provide further updates on next steps as soon as they are available.
