Overview

Active Travel England Consultation: Walking and cycling improvements proposed for Middleton Road

Norfolk County Council are asking for feedback on proposals to improve Middleton Road so that more people choose to walk, wheel or cycle. 

The proposed route would provide safe cycle access between South and North Gorleston, serving the local college and town amenities and see a number of improved safe crossings introduced for those on foot.

This project was identified as a priority scheme in the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) for Gorleston and is supported by Great Yarmouth Borough Council. The work is currently estimated to cost £500,000 and would be funded by the Governments Active Travel Fund. This money cannot be used to fund other council services or initiatives and must be spent on cycle infrastructure.

The documents below detail exactly what we’re proposing and why and the accompanying plans show what the project could look like on the ground.

After reviewing the proposals below please answer the questions in the online survey on the following page.

What happens next

The deadline for comments is Sunday 24 November. We will then carefully consider all responses and report back to you with the results and next steps. All decisions rest with the cabinet member for highways, infrastructure and transport.

The project webpage www.norfolk.gov.uk/middletonroad will be kept up to date with the latest progress and information.
