This consultation has now closed.
The consultation
We are proposing to redesign Park Royal Road and Acton Lane to reduce issues with heavy traffic. Cycling on these roads is difficult due to the high volume of lorries and buses. Parked cars on both sides of Park Royal Road make the congestion worse, causing delays as large vehicles cannot pass each other. Uncontrolled parking also leads to long-term car dumping, while future developments are expected to further increase traffic.
To address these challenges, the council proposes improving the road layout to reduce congestion and improve travel for all road users. On Park Royal Road, key proposals include a new two-way cycle track shared with pedestrians, removing parking on the east side to widen the road, and redesigning crossings for safer access. On Acton Lane, protected cycle lanes would be added to improve safety for cyclists, and the junction will be redesigned to help slow-turning vehicles.
The impact of the proposals will include the loss of parking spaces. These are 24 unrestricted spaces, several resident-only and shared bays on Park Royal Road, as well as 30 unrestricted spaces on Acton Lane.
Benefits will include reduced traffic, safer cycling, better pedestrian crossings, faster bus journeys, and less car dumping.
