Plans for improvements to a busy Nottingham road for cyclists have been welcomed by people in the area. Nottingham City Council has explained St Ann’s Well Road has been identified as a priority route for a new 'cycling corridor', as it serves the north and east of the city where cycling provision is "currently lacking compared to other areas".
Improvements for cyclists along St Ann’s Well Road were made during the Covid pandemic after a significant rise in the number of cycling journeys. The scheme aims to build on this by making a number of improvements, including a new dedicated cycle lane to enable safer cycling, the re-alignment of junctions and the upgrade of traffic calming features to reduce vehicle speeds.
Locals had a generally positive reaction to the proposals, which are currently undergoing consultation. Paul Ross, 48, who lives just off St Ann's Well Road and frequently cycles down the road, said the improvements were urgently needed.
