Scheme information
The Earlsdon Liveable Neighbourhood scheme aims to make Earlsdon greener and improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. The scheme design has responded to priorities identified by the local community.
Scheme proposals to be implemented
Following the three rounds of community engagement and consultation, the main features being introduced are:
- 20mph zone throughout the scheme - the area bounded by the railway line, Hearsall Golf Club and Kenilworth Road
- New zebra crossing on Earlsdon Street - between Co-Op and the City Arms
- New toucan crossing on Albany Road at the entrance to Spencer Park
- Traffic calming on Beechwood Avenue - including
- Changing the layout of the Beechwood Avenue / Rochester Road junction - the road is narrowed and Rochester Road becomes the priority road
- Narrowing the road at the Beechwood Avenue / Hartington Crescent mini-roundabout
- Point closure on Arden Street - between Clarendon Street and Hartington Crescent
- Point closure on Shaftesbury Road - between Beechwood Avenue and St Andrew's Road
- Pavement widening outside Earlsdon Primary School and Earlsdon Carnegie Community Library - including shortening the distance that pedestrians must walk to cross Earlsdon Avenue North by reducing the road to a single lane towards the roundabout
- Pavement widening on Earlsdon Avenue South outside Elsie Jones House at the bus stop
- Benches and planting on Earlsdon Street and Earlsdon Avenue North as part of the zebra crossing improvements
- Planting on Beechwood Avenue as part of works to narrow the road at the Hartington Crescent mini-roundabout
- Cycle hire docks on Warwick Street and Earlsdon Avenue - subject to operator approval
- Cycle contraflow (sign only) Providence Street, Berkeley Road South and Moor Street - no changes to parking or road layout
To introduce these changes, some parking will be relocated, however we have mitigated this by reducing parking restrictions on Albany Road. These changes collectively support the area-wide 20mph Zone, which would not be effective with signs alone.
