The photo below shows the existing approach from Water End to the Clifton Green junction.

Two final options for reinstating the left-turn traffic lane at the junction were chosen from several considered at the Decision Session meeting in September. The layouts are shown on the pdf documents available to download from this page, together with descriptions and a summary of the pros and cons for each one.

We would like to receive comments on the options no later than Friday 20th January 2012. Please see the contact details below.

A decision about these options was originally expected in early March, but given the significance of the decision, it has been decided this would be better dealt with by the council's Cabinet. A report will now be presented at their meeting on 3rd April.

Westminster Road / The Avenue

It is expected that the restoration of a left-turn traffic lane at Clifton Green will result in fewer motorists using Westminster Road and The Avenue as a through route to avoid delays at the junction. However, the council is also committed to carrying out an investigation into the possibility of introducing a road closure to address this problem, and this will be reported to the Clifton Ward Committee in due course.
