Overview

In July 2015 we carried out consultation on the highway proposals for the junction of Tessall Lane and A38 Bristol Road South, which included a No Entry restriction at the junction of Farren Road and A38 Bristol Road South, as shown on drawing CA-02712_S3_012.

As a result of the feedback received from the July consultation, we are seeking further views on options at the Farren Road / Bristol Road South junction from residents along and near to Farren Road. The options are as follows:

  • Option 1 – Make Farren Road ‘No Entry’ from Bristol Road South for all vehicles.
  • Option 2 - Make Farren Road ‘No Entry’ from Bristol Road South for vehicles except for buses.
  • Option 3 – Make no changes to the Farren Road / Bristol Road South junction (leave the junction as it is).
  • Option 4 – Review the Farren Road / Bristol Road South junction 6 – 12 months after the completion of the junction improvements at Bristol Road South / Tessall Lane.
