See what we've consulted on.
We asked for comments on whether the boundary of the Plaiters' Lea: The Hat District Conservation Area should be extended.
We received feedback for and against the boundary change.
The feedback was considered in detail and considerations were included in the report to the Council's Executive. The Executive resolved to agree the boundary change as outlined in the consultation.
The council consulted the public on proposals for the Vauxhall Way improvements. Vauxhall Way, Hitchin Road and Stopsley is the most well developed scheme and people had the opportunity to comment on the latest design to manage congestion.
Feedback from the public consultation demonstrated an agreement with the need to improve safety, traffic flow, pedestrian and cycling facilities. However, it was also noted that there are concerns that a signalised junction would make traffic flow worse and increase pollution. Congestion experienced on Stockingstone Road was also highlighted as an issue, as well as turning issues in and out of Birchen Grove.
In order to demonstrate how Vauxhall Way wil operate with the anticipated future growth comparing a scenario where we do not convert the roundabout into a signalised junction, Luton Council has developed movie clips which can be viewed by visiting www.luton.gov.uk and searching 'Major Road Improvements' in the search bar.
The council will also be investigating solutions to the Stockingstone Road congestion issues as part of the 2020/2021 programme.
Regarding the turning issues at the Birchen Grove junction the council will be investigating a solution with the aim to be implemented before the end of this scheme.
