Sustainable Spaces and Places 

We’re developing new proposals for areas where neighbourhood low traffic zone trials were in place in Heaton, Jesmond and Fenham.  
These proposals are based on feedback from residents and the learnings and data collected as part of the trials.  
This is part of our Sustainable Spaces and Places programme, which aims to improve walking and cycling in local neighbourhoods.  
We are now ready to share the proposals for Heaton from 22 July, and more information will follow in due course for Jesmond and Fenham.

Sustainable Spaces and Places - Heaton 

Following the removal of the neighbourhood low traffic zone trial in Heaton in April 2024, we have been reviewing all of the feedback and data that was collected to help develop new proposals for the area. 
This has included looking at the responses received regarding the two options for tackling traffic displacement that were put forward in early 2024. 
Using this information and evidence, we have developed revised proposals that are designed to improve how people can move around Heaton, whether they walk, wheel or cycle, and create better links with Heaton Park, local shops and schools.  
We want to hear your views on the proposals, which include wider pavements, new pedestrian crossings and measures to reduce traffic volume, speed and displacement onto other residential streets and back lanes.
