Slowing down Haydn Road
haydn road

When we carried out the traffic safety survey, you told us that you were *concerned over the speed of traffic along Haydn Road*. In 2019, Councillors allocated funding for phase 1 of reducing speeds by installing two Vehicle Activated signs.

This has helped, but we would like to do more to *reduce speeds on the way into the busy shopping area on Haydn Road, as well as creating safe locations for pedestrians to cross the road*. Alongside the traffic calming, there are also proposals for a sustainable drainage scheme.

*See the plans online and have your say [ [link removed] ]*

Let the river flow

Local residents have told us that they are already starting to see *new and different wildlife* as a result of the *Blue-Green Infrastructure Project on Valley Road* – realigning the river channel.

If you haven’t visited yet, please do – it’s a great opportunity to see the change in this park as the seeds and trees planted this spring start to develop. ??
