Rosemary Lane engagement 2024
The closure would stop local through traffic and speeding traffic. It's only a short diversion via Fishponds Road and Robertson Road for those who use this road to access local areas.
If this part of Rosemary Lane is closed, the section without traffic could be used as community space next to the play area, for example, as a green space for people to walk or cycle and exercise, or as an extension to the play facilities.
Other benefits of this road closure could be:
- a safer route to school for May Park Primary children and their families
- improved local air quality
- reduced noise pollution
We asked
Between 22 January 2024 and 3 March 2025, we asked for views on proposals to close a small section of Rosemary Lane between Robertson Road and the car park opposite the children's play area.
An online consultation survey was available to respondents. Alternative formats such as Easy Read, braille, large print, printed surveys, and translation to other languages were available on request.
You said
A total of 509 responses were received. The consultation report summarises the results.
We did
The Transport and Connectivity Committee considered the proposals on 5 February 2026. The proposals were not approved and therefore a Full Business Case will not proceed.
