Why the changes are needed

These changes are needed to complete a gap in the existing footpath network between Grassmere Road and Mountain Road. The proposed footpath aims to enable safer and more convenient walking journeys in the area.

Proposal outcome

This project will proceed with minor changes to the next stage of detailed planning. As a result of community feedback, we are no longer constructing a pedestrian crossing or the associated broken yellow lines.
