Proposed traffic calming and sustainable drainage scheme in Haydn Road, Sherwood
Nottingham City Council is proposing to introduce the second phase of the traffic calming measures for Haydn Road, following the installation of two electronic Vehicle Activated Signs in 2019.
The proposals are designed to reduce traffic speeds on the approaches to the busy shopping area on Haydn Road, as well as offering locations for pedestrians to cross the road.
Alongside the traffic calming, there are proposals for a sustainable drainage scheme. The City Council is designated as a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) and has a legal duty to develop, maintain and apply a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy. As part of this strategy, the Flood Risk Management team seeks to deliver projects which reduce the risk of flooding across the city.
Haydn Road has a history of surface water flooding issues, particularly in extreme storms, which the Flood Risk Management team would like to address.
The team has secured funding to retrofit sustainable drainage features along Haydn Road, to help slow the flow of flood water and to provide environmental benefits to the street. It is proposed to deliver a scheme involving the planting of trees in specially designed pits which collect surface water, as well as possible rain gardens.
The proposals are listed below and are shown in the following images:
Please let us know whether you support these proposals and any comments by Wednesday 21 July.
