Mill Road Consultation Underway

Residents, businesses and visitors are being asked to share their views on how Cambridge's Mill Road could be improved.

A consultation considers measures that can be brought in quickly while also seeking feedback on longer term measures – proposals for which could be consulted upon later this year.
 
Cambridgeshire County Council’s Highways and Transport Committee asked the GCP in November 2021 to incorporate the Mill Road scheme as part of the City Access programme and hold a consultation.
 
That process begins with the initial six-week public consultation that asks for views on three themes which could be put in place to improve the area, which include changing the way that traffic moves along Mill Road.

A brochure, webpage and online survey have been published and public meetings will be held throughout the consultation period to ensure everyone’s voice can be heard.

The feedback will be analysed and, subject to Cambridgeshire County Council approval, will be used to develop detailed proposals for a second consultation later this year that will likely consider how to manage traffic and access in the area in the longer term.

Mill Road bridge was closed to private vehicles from June 2020 to early August 2021 to help people walking and cycling to maintain social distancing following the outbreak of Covid-19.
 
The county council’s Highways and Transport Committee voted in July 2021 to reopen the bridge to traffic and asked the GCP in November 2021 to incorporate the scheme as part of the City Access programme and hold a consultation.
