We want to know what you think about Rye Lane , in particular what it is like to walk, cycle or use public transport in the area.
Rye Lane (between Hanover Park and Copeland Road) was closed to buses, cars and other vehicles except bicycles on 6 July, 2020, to help people social distance safely when walking and queuing outside shops during the pandemic.
On 18 October 2021, the road was reopened to buses, taxis and bicycles travelling in both directions for a trial period, under an 18-month experimental traffic order. As the trial has now been in place for nine months, the council is undertaking a public consultation on the measures to decide whether to keep or modify the arrangement. This traffic order also allowed loading between 7am and 10am to allow businesses to operate.
Now is the time to have your say on what transport on Rye Lane looks like in the future.
The new consultation is available here and will run until 16th September 2022
