Consultations and surveys Safer roads for Beswick phase two consultation

Phase one

This consultation is now closed.

You told us that five of the measures were the right thing in the right place, so we are planning to start putting these in place from 21 October this year.

These are to:

  • Improve the junction of Albert Street, Rylance Street and Darley Street - bollards will prevent motor vehicles from entering the area, and there will be trees planted, two-way cycle lanes and new crossings.
  • Improve the junction of Albert Street and Doric Close - narrowing the road and putting in a speed table / road hump to slow traffic
  • Improve Albert Street between Charlesworth Street and Barmouth Street (near Bradford Park and Grange Community Centre) - existing crossing will be upgraded to a zebra crossing, with cycle bypass lanes.
  • Improve where Grey Mare Lane meets Bell Crescent - current uncontrolled crossing will be upgraded to a parallel zebra crossing (allowing people on foot and cyclists to cross safely at the same time)
  • Improve crossing on Ashton New Road (near Swallow Street) - existing crossing will be upgraded to allow people on foot and cyclists to cross safely at the same time.  

One measure was removed following the original consultation. At the junction where Rylance Road meets Aldridge Road there is already a traffic calming raised table, so we decided to prioritise other measures on the same road (e.g. the junction at Athletes Way).
