Statutory consultation - changes to Bull Lane bus gate & Shaftesbury Road proposals

A statutory consultation on the draft traffic orders for this project was undertaken in late 2021, the project was granted approval in February 2022, and construction began in May 2022.

We are now proposing changes to two aspects of the traffic orders which relate to:

• a modal filter at the junction of Shaftesbury Road with Bull Lane, and
• a bus gate at the southern end of Bull Lane.

All the changes proposed can be seen on the drawings accompanying the draft traffic orders, found in the document library section on the right-hand side of the project page.

The main changes, which do not affect the purpose of the previous proposals, are summarised below:

• Shaftesbury Road
  • Change from a modal filter to a point closure that allows westbound vehicles to turn right from Shaftesbury Road into Bull Lane
  • Footway buildouts at both the north and south corners of the junction of Shaftesbury Road with Bull Lane
  • Removal of the previously proposed on-street parking bay at the west side of Bull Lane and provision of an on-street parking bay of the same length at the east side of Bull Lane
  • Removal of the single on-street parking bay at the west end of Shaftesbury Road and introduction of loading restrictions
• Bull Lane
  • Relocation of the bus gate approximately 20 meters further north
  • Change from planters at the bus gate to carriageway buildouts
  • Removal of short sections of on-street parking bays immediately north and south of the newly proposed bus gate location

Before completing this consultation form please make sure you read the information provided on the project page and the draft traffic orders here which include the drawings of the proposed changes.
