Springhead Road - walking and cycling improvement scheme

Update August 2022

We have reviewed and considered all of the responses to the consultation and are thankful to everyone who took the time to respond.

This scheme will be taken forward to detailed design stage and will be subject to a further safety audit.

A Traffic Regulation Order consultation will be required to implement the changes to the road markings.

During the next phase of design, work will be undertaken to minimise the amount of shared space on the route in favour of a segregated stepped facility.

A copy of the Consultation Report is now available in the Documents section.

Earlier this year, we carried out a consultation on eight of the Green Corridor Programme schemes to gather views on our initial route proposals. The feedback for the Springhead Road scheme was positive and revealed that respondents would welcome improvements along this route. The responses highlighted that there are:

  • positive views of sustainable and active travel and an appreciation of the benefits walking and cycling improvements can have to health and the environment
  • positive views of the scheme and a belief it will be well used as it will protect both cyclists and pedestrians
  • some concerns about how the scheme will link with the wider network and the barrier to cycling caused by the Pepperhill Roundabout.

The feedback has helped shape our initial ideas to create the more specific proposals shown in this consultation. The results of the previous consultation have been presented in a summary report.

We are keen to hear your views on the proposals presented in the consultation brochure. Have your say by completing the online questionnaire.

Your feedback will be used to help form our final detailed design.
