Background
The SCN5 Eastern Quietway consultation questionnaire was open from June to July 2022.
A summary of the key findings is below:
- 90 respondents submitted the survey, 88 from the SO18/SO19 postcode areas.
- The majority of respondents stated that each set of measures will improve safety and reduce vehicle speeds.
- Most are not concerned about the loss of on-street parking.
- An average of 47% of respondents stated that the measures would encourage them to walk more, and an average of 29% to cycle more.
- Few respondents were concerned about the noise from speed humps (14% average).
- 63 respondents provided additional comments. Some did not relate to the scheme or indicated a misunderstanding of the planned measures, including the belief that a cycle lane will be installed. Future communications will resolve common confusions. Other comments contained positive encouragement for the measures as well as suggestions for individual scheme changes, which have been reviewed.

All of the measures featured in the consultation have been progressed through the detailed design stage. Feedback from the survey has been incorporated into the designs, and the schemes have been further assessed for viability based on various factors including cost, utilities investigations and legal Traffic Regulation Order consultations.
The Traffic Regulation Order for the works on Spring Road was completed in February 2023 and can be viewed here.
