Following a public consultation in November 2020 for the wider Dudley Road scheme, the city council took on board comments from members of the public and included these within a revised design for the Barford estate area. This revised design was consulted on in Autumn 2021.

A Traffic Regulation Order, or TRO, is the legal documentation required to make changes to the status of the highway (road). This consultation is to make residents and businesses aware of the proposals to introduce, amend and make permanent, TROs in the Barford estate area.
