Annette Road area Liveable Neighbourhood
The public consultation on the Annette Road area Liveable Neighbourhood ran from Wednesday 18 June to Sunday, 3 August 2025
Thank you to those who responded, we are now reviewing the feedback and a decision on proceeding with the project will follow. Please see below for information about the scheme.
As part of our efforts to create a cleaner, greener, and healthier borough we want to create a liveable neighbourhood in the Annette Road area.
The liveable neighbourhood will create pleasant and animated streets, where communities can come together to spend time with their neighbours, support local shops and children can play and travel safely. With more greening including plants and trees, improved pavements for those walking, wheeling and using buggies, and reduced traffic volumes, the liveable neighbourhood will transform streets across the scheme area. You can read more about liveable neighbourhoods here.
Having listened carefully to what you have told us during the engagement that ran in summer 2024, we are now presenting our final draft proposals for the Annette Road area Liveable Neighbourhood.
On this page you can find out more about our proposals for improving streets and public spaces in the area.

You have told us that:
- you would like to see pavements improved with more space created for people walking, wheeling and with buggies and mobility aids
- you want to see more pleasant, green public spaces that feel secure and well-lit at night
- streets should be made safer with slower traffic and fewer vehicles
