 Walking and Cycling
Oundle Drive/Middleton Boulevard EATF scheme to be made permanent
We've recently made a number of changes to our road space as part of the Government's EATF response to Covid-19. For more information on the schemes we've implemented, visit our dedicated page.
Following a successful trial and feedback, the pop-up cycle lane on Oundle Drive/Middelton Boulevard is being improved and will be made permanent. While the pop-up scheme consisted of bollards and temporary signs, the final scheme will have a permanent kerb similar to that of Castle Boulevard.
Works will commence from Monday 26 October lasting for 10 weeks. More information will be available soon.
