Since 2017, we have been working on trying to improve safety across the Canal Bridge and the surrounding areas. With the news that funding for the Conker Crossing was not available due to the scale of the investment required and changes to funding criteria, BANES commissioned a safety paper on alternate options for the Canal Bridge and narrowing by Mulberry Kidz. The Parish Council has received and reviewed the findings of the paper, and will undertake a public consultation to share the information and seek public feedback on the options provided.
CONSULTATION RESULTS
Thank you to all that contributed to the consultation. The results of the consultation and minutes of the public meeting can be found here:
Our next step is to tighten and re-submit the existing Canal Bridge/Down Lane Liveable Neighbourhoods bid with results from the consultation plus further work to review issues and potential options on roads through the village, including the High St.
Volunteers for this village review were asked to step forward during both the consultation process and via the current Parish Council newsletter by 10th February. We will publish a timetable for this work after that.
If you’d like to be involved, please contact us via highways.bathamptonpc@gmail.com to volunteer.
CONSULTATION DOCUMENTS
Below are downloadable versions of the consultation documents. These will also be available on the days with staffed displays.
