Statutory consultation September 2023

Introduction

We will be carrying out some public realm improvements on Milner Road between its junction with Morden Road and the closure point

The measures are shown on the plan attached to the newsletter and will include the following.

  • Narrowing of the junction and installing a raised entry treatment to improve safety for all user groups
  • Resurfacing of the footway
  • Resurfacing of carriageway with buff coloured stone chips
  • Widening the footway on both sides of Milner Road and introducing trees with tree grills
  • Installation of an EV lamp column charge point along with the associated electric vehicle parking bay that can be used by S1 permit holders during the CPZ periods of operation and by any electric vehicle owner outside the CPZ operational periods. Parking will be permitted whilst the vehicle is charging and there will be a maximum stay of 12 hours.  This element of the scheme requires a statutory consultation
  • Installation of a 5m bay allocated for electric hire bikes. This element of the scheme requires a statutory consultation.
  • Proposed double yellow lines (no waiting and loading restrictions) as shown on the plan. This element of the scheme requires a statutory consultation.
