This consultation has ended and we are analysing the responses.
We asked
BCP Council has introduced an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) to implement a point closure on Kingsbere Road at its junction with Hennings Park Road. This is to create a safer environment to travel to and through the area on foot or by bicycle and to travel safely to St Mary’s School. This is designed to complement the existing Darbys Lane ETRO, that was implemented in August 2020, in response to feedback from the review, and residents and local ward councillors concerns that Kingsbere Road and Hennings Park Road were experiencing additional displaced motor traffic, as well as historic issues with speeding. This complementary closure will create a low traffic area.
The works were implemented on 24 September 2021. The consultation started on 10 September 2021 and ran until 25 March 2022.
