Improving road safety around Lenton
safety

*Road safety is something that we value in Lenton and Wollaton East ward and that’s why it has been one of our manifesto commitments when we started our term in 2019.*

We are proud that we were able to support road improvements on *Derby Road from Canning Circus down to Lenton Boulevard*, some of those improvements have already been made and some are yet to come soon for the benefit of all Lenton residents.

Our proposed works include *widening central refuges, installation of average speed cameras, signage and other measures.* We want to thank all residents who took part in the consultation and we are looking forward to making our streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists!
