Project update
We recently asked for your feedback on proposals to introduce a bus lane as well as improvements to the existing cycle lane and footways along the A6, Duffield Road. The proposals were located on Duffield Road between Thatch Close and Broadway.
The proposals were put forward to address the significant queues and delays during the morning peak period between the A38 junction and the Broadway roundabout on Duffield Road. The queues and congestion have significant impacts on city bound bus journey times of approximately 10 minutes per vehicle on average.
The proposal was to introduce more space for buses, cycles and pedestrians by installing an inbound bus lane and making improvements to the existing cycle lanes and footways.
The consultation was open for 12 weeks and closed on 27 October 2024. Thank you to everyone that gave their feedback.
We have now reviewed all the comments and considered carefully what you have told us. A response to the main findings can be found here (opens in a new window) however, the headline updates are:
Installation of new bus lane - In light of the consultation response we have reviewed this scheme and decided not to proceed with the implementation of the bus lane at the present time.
Creation of a shared use cycle path - Facilities for pedestrians and cyclists along Duffield Road will be reviewed with a view to improving safety. Any improvements would be subject to further consultation and availability of funding.
