In December 2019, all St Denys residents were invited to tell us what they would like to change about their neighbourhood in a survey and nearly 1000 contributions were received. Residents' key concerns were identified as traffic, safety and air quality.

In February 2020, residents were invited to work with engineers and council staff in four co-design workshops, to develop ideas and design solutions to address their concerns. Our engineers reviewed the most popular and most feasible suggestions, and these were brought forward to the detailed design stage. You can read about each proposal on the map above or download a copy.
You can see the contributions to the Your St Denys Your Say survey on Commonplace here and a summary of the results of the ‘Co-designing St Denys’ workshops can be viewed here.
An overview of all the proposed measures resulting from the co-design workshops in Feb/March 2020 is outlined in the map below. They were presented to residents for their comments and questions and we have responded to over 65 submissions, via email and face-to-face meetings.

The majority of people who we engaged with supported the proposed measures and we then made some amendments in response to feedback expressing concerns with specific elements of the scheme as follows:
1. The North Road modal filter will be designed as a trial, so that it can be easily modified if early observations indicate alterations are required. Following feedback received from residents, we still consider the best location for this modal filter is on North Road, between Stanley Road and Priory Road. If the trial is successful, we will aim to make the scheme permanent after six months.
2. The existing banned right turn restriction onto St Denys Road from Stanley Road will be removed in conjunction with the North Road modal filter
3. The Priory Road North modal filter will be designed as a trial, so that it can be easily modified if early observations indicate alterations are required. If the trial is successful, we will aim to make the scheme permanent after six months.
4. We will adopt a phased implementation of the modal filters to allow Kent Road to be reviewed and monitored prior to the trial of the Priory Road North filter.
5. An independent road safety audit will assess concerns with the Priory Road/Aberdeen Road junction proposal
6. We will review existing ‘Keep Clear’ markings at junctions on St Denys Road, with a view to installing them at all junctions along the corridor.
7. The double yellow lines next to the railway level crossing will be put on hold. Once the priority measures are designed and costs confirmed, the lining and other options will be re-considered for Adelaide Road.
