These proposals are based on concerns from residents about the increasing traffic volume and speed in roads locally.

We have already installed traffic calming measures and a 20mph zone, but still received concerns regarding the volume of through traffic.

What we are doing

Changes are being made to improve the quality of life in the Butter Hill area. We are trialling:

  • installing a road closure at the junction of Butter Hill and Mill Lane to all traffic, except for
    • emergency services
    • local authority vehicles
    • cyclists
  • this will be enforced with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras
  • this means that motorists contravening signs will receive a penalty charge notice

The benefits

These changes are intended to improve safety on Butter Hill and in the surrounding roads by reducing traffic levels and speeds.

This will also make the area:

  • more pleasant and quieter to walk or cycle and
  • reduce the number of non-resident vehicles cutting through the area
