Background information

In October 2020, we set up a trial scheme on Moor Lane to create a safe route for all non-motorised users (pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders).

The trial included making the road one-way for vehicles, and allocating the eastbound carriageway for non-motorised users only.

We carried out a six-week consultation about the trial and whether it should be made permanent. We also gathered traffic data to measure the impact of the scheme.

Taking into account feedback from the consultation, we then designed a permanent version of the scheme. We carried out another informal consultation which lasted for three weeks. We received more than 500 responses, both in favour of and opposed to the scheme.
