2023 Updated Designs

This project aims to improve road safety and enhance the public spaces along the High Street to: 

• create an attractive environment for residents 

• encourage more active modes of transport (like walking and cycling) 

• improve air quality and biodiversity net gain 

• encourage more people to visit the village and stay longer 

• improve the local economy 

Following the 2022 consultation results and the feedback from residents about the removal of bus laybys and vehicle access to the Post Office, these have been removed from the scheme. We are also no longer improving the public realm outside of the Village Hall.

These improvements will be kept:

• Improving the public realm in the Fountain Square area, including introducing restricting vehicle access at certain times (accessible parking bays to be located nearby). Access to  roads like Onslow Mews will be maintained at all times.
• Resurfacing and widening the footways where possible
• Introducing raised tables to help cars stick to the 20mph speed limit, kerb lines and tactile paving will make the edge of the pavement clear to pedestrians 
• Improving the public realm and removing the pools of water, where possible, that form outside the Post Office area.
• Converting the mini roundabout at the Village Way junction into a raised priority junction
