The council has published its decision to make permanent three linked through-traffic restriction trials in the Lower Lansdown & Circus area of Bath.
The trials in Winifred’s Lane, Gay Street and Catharine Place were installed in November 2024 alongside a six-month public consultation and extensive traffic and air quality monitoring.
By restricting through traffic at these three locations, the aim is to support the local neighbourhood, enable more local trips by active travel (walking, wheeling, cycling), and address excessive traffic on residential roads often used as shortcuts to and from the A46/M4 north of the city.
This decision is subject to a five-day call-in period.
Read the decision notice and the report, which includes the outcomes of the traffic and air quality monitoring and the public consultation surveys.
