Streets in Battlefield are set to be redesigned to “prioritise people over vehicles” with public consultation on the changes now underway.
Plans include replacing the road next to the old Victoria Hospital with “public space improvements”, new cycle lanes and bus stops and changes to traffic signals to slow down traffic.
The new consultation also reveals proposals for new bus stops, with real time information, a continuous footway across Battlefield Gardens to prioritise pedestrians and a fire gate at the end of Prospecthill Road, to simplify the junction and reduce traffic in the area, which will allow access for emergency vehicles.
