Following extensive representations to the department and repeated coordination with local engineers, I am delighted to confirm that formal funding has been allocated for the priority relief route and critical junction safety upgrades.

This investment will dramatically ease congestion during peak school run and commuting hours, significantly improving quality of life for residents along Main Street and surrounding residential estates.

Key Deliverables of the Scheme

  • Relief Bypass Link: Diverting heavy goods vehicles and through-traffic away from town center streets.
  • Pedestrian Safety Crossings: 3 high-visibility zebra and signal-controlled crossings at key residential junctures.
  • Active Travel Corridor: Dedicated protected paths for students walking and cycling to local secondary schools.

Public consultation sessions will be scheduled in the coming weeks, where engineers will be present to walk residents through detailed drawings and environmental mitigation steps.
