Safer, Better Streets - Elm Grove at Hampden Road and Bonchurch Road
We’re looking to improve the junctions with Hampden Road and Bonchurch Road as part of our Safer, Better Streets programme.
Every year we assess requests for safety improvements all over the city, using our 'Safer, Better Streets’ assessment process.
The proposed improvements at Hampden Road include:
- Upgrading the pedestrian crossing to a signalised crossing
- Widening the pavements around the mouth of Hampden Road to improve the pedestrian experience and shorten crossing distances
- New grass verges on either side of Elm Grove
- A rain garden to absorb excess rainfall
The proposed improvements at Bonchurch Road include:
- Improving accessibility by adding dropped kerbs and tactile paving
- Upgrading the island for use as a pedestrian crossing
We want to hear your views
The survey is open until 2 September 2024 and should take no more than 5 minutes to complete.
You can find more information on our Safer, Better Streets webpage, including how you can request a road safety improvement.
Phases
Post-construction
Construction for the Safer, Better Streets - Elm Grove at Hampden and Bonchurch Road project has now been completed. The project involved upgrading the crossing at Hampden Road to a signalised crossing, widening of pavements, creation of new verges, installation of a rain garden, and improvements to the crossing at Bonchurch Road.
Planting of the rain garden and verges forms the remaining work and will take place in the autumn once summer has ended.
We will continue to monitor the improved pedestrian crossings on Elm Grove. If you have any feedback or questions about the project, please contact us at transport.projects@brighton-hove.gov.uk.
