HEATON - MAKING CHANGES IN YOUR AREA TO CREATE SAFER, CLEANER AND GREENER
NEIGHBOURHOODS

People in Heaton often contact us with concerns about traffic levels and speeds
on residential streets. This leaflet outlines plans to address these issues by
trialling some changes across the area.



We intend to trial some changes that will reduce the amount of traffic
travelling through neighbourhoods across the city. Parts of Heaton will be among
the first areas to see these changes made.



Living here, you’ll know some streets are already blocked off from through
routes, while others have road humps in place to reduce traffic speeds and make
cutting through in vehicles less attractive. Our view is that if people have to
drive through an area, they should be using main roads; even if it takes a
little longer.



To reduce traffic levels and make the area safer, the changes we’ll make include
things like:



- Introducing new crossings;



- Trialling the closure of through routes to vehicles by using large planters or
bollards to restrict access in certain places;



- Extending the city’s electric scooter hire scheme into this area; and



- Tightening junctions to reduce traffic speeds.



It's important we make it clear that every property in any area would still be
able to be accessed by vehicle. This means that delivery drivers, refuse trucks,
emergency vehicles, and you if you need to use a car, will still be able to gain
access, it just may be necessary to change your usual route a little.



We believe that with less traffic cutting through, neighbourhood streets can
become safer and more attractive places for the people who live there. These
changes would give children more space to play, and encourages more people to
walk and cycle on local journeys.



This approach is a key part of our commitment to tackle climate change, clean up
the air we breathe and create a more liveable city – one that puts people first.



Read on to find out more about proposals for your area and how to give us your
feedback by 7 December 2021.
