Safer, Better Streets - Surrenden Road / Preston Drove
We’re looking to improve Surrenden Road at the junction with Preston Drove 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 to the layout include:
- Realigning and improving the existing informal pedestrian crossing on Surrenden Road
- Widening the pavements, shortening the crossing distances
- Moving the central island to a more suitable location
- Adding an additional pedestrian island between the two southbound lanes
- Widening and realigning the pavement on southern side of Preston Drove to enable safer 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
TRO (final chance to comment)
The Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) survey is the final chance to comment before changes to the road layout are made. It may be that this project will not require a TRO, in which case this phase will be deleted as soon as we receive confirmation.
Please note these dates are not the dates the TRO will be open for comment. We'll provide the exact dates closer to the time.
TROs are the legal documents behind the rules of the road. They allow us to enforce traffic and parking restrictions.
We advertise proposals for new restrictions via a public notice. You can comment on the proposals during a 21-day period on our Traffic Regulation Order webpage.
If required, the council Cabinet member for Transport, Parking and Public Realm will then consider objections and comments of support. The Cabinet member will decide if the proposals should go ahead as they are, with changes, or not at all.
If the proposals are approved, the scheme will then proceed to construction and we'll notify you.
