Proposals
Through external funding secured through Section 106 contributions and the Active Travel England Grant (Consolidated Active Travel Fund) the schemes aim to support active travel options as well as easing congestion, with Phase 1 focusing on the Rockingham Road corridor.
What is happening in Phase 1
An early-stage design has been produced (below) to share our initial ideas for the area. We are currently engaging with residents and stakeholder groups to gather feedback and ensure proposals reflect local needs.
Key features of the concept design include:
- Widened pavements to create more space for cyclists and pedestrians
- New junction crossings that prioritise walking, cycling, and wheeling
Redesigned junctions at:
- St Mary’s Road / Kettering Road
- Rockingham Road / Gores Lane
- These changes aim to ease congestion and support smoother travel
One Way Traffic Regulation Order:
- Clarence Street to become one-way northbound up to the junction with Albert Road
We are also proposing to enhance these schemes by including tree planting to enhance the streetscape.
Looking ahead to Phase 2
Phase 2 will explore further opportunities to:
• Expand cycling and walking facilities and reduce congestion, especially around The Square and Welland Park Road
