Forest Road Development Corridor - Update

 Here is the latest view of the Forest Road Development Corridor

Wood Street Library site starting demolition

Proposed new building at 11 storeys

View of new building at junction of Forest Road and Wood Street

Willow House - waiting plans for new tower block

Homebase now closed - waiting demolition

New traffic obstacle course - winner to knock down all the posts gets free parking for a year!

Why 2 cycle paths?  or more to the point why waste public money on a second cycle path when the first one was perfectly adequate; once they changed the lanes and put pedestrians on the inside.

New Yellow Box obstacle course - hit these and you get a prize of an electric car!

Oh we didn't see the shops so hadn't allowed for deliveries!

Oh dear knocked over already - hope us Council Tax payers will be reimbursed!

Hope no cycle parks on the double yellow line.

Another obstacle to negotiate when turning out of a side street

Time to set an obstacle for bus passengers - see if they can walk into an e-scoter as it goes past

Now to make life harder for bus drivers - no bus layby to turn into anymore

Forest Road Corridor

 The council keep on referring to the development opportunities along the Forest Road Corridor. Here in pictures are what they are referring to including the Mini-Hollandising of Forest Road by removing the bus lay byes, that enable the buses to control the traffic flow!
