Chaos and confusion erupted on the streets of Levenshulme two years ago - now its cause is here to stay
When traffic calming measures were introduced as part of a trial scheme in Levenshulme and Burnage at the start of 2021, they were met with fury from a large number of residents who set themselves against the plans.
Others, who said they were behind the scheme in principle, felt the council’s initial attempts were ‘half a job’ despite having been in the works since 2018 and felt planters were installed without much instruction on how drivers should use it to make adjustments to their journeys. The scheme would continue to have road safety at its focus, while also encouraging residents to walk and cycle instead of driving when possible. A further consultation will soon take place regarding the prospect of including an additional crossing on the A6, expanding the provision of high-quality and safer walking and cycling routes to local shops and facilities.
“I am pleased that in partnership with TfGM on behalf of the Combined Authority we have developed a scheme that will improve road safety and encourage people to choose active travel more often.”
