Woodstock Avenue, Plumpton

Transport identified an opportunity to improve safety for residents and reduce congestion on Woodstock Avenue between Duke Street and the M7, Plumpton.

Woodstock Avenue has high traffic volumes and is commonly used by freight vehicles travelling between the M7 and commercial areas to the west.  A review of parked vehicles found there is low usage of available parking spaces on Woodstock Avenue with sufficient space available in driveways or on side streets for vehicles to park.

Transport proposed to extend ‘No Stopping’ zones on Woodstock Avenue between Duke Street and the M7. A Have Your Say seeking community feedback on the proposal was held from March to April 2024. There was majority support for the proposed 'No Stopping' zones extension.



Westbound ‘No Stopping’ zones will provide about one kilometre of additional lane space by removing about 88 potential car parking spaces. 

Eastbound ‘No Stopping’ zones will also be formalised to improve safety.

Extension of ‘No Stopping’ zones will:

• improve safety for road users and residents by reducing vehicle weaving movements 
• result in easier access and better sight lines for residents using their driveways and for pedestrians crossing the road
• improve traffic flow and reduce congestion by efficiently using all existing lanes, resulting in more reliable travel times.

The key features of the proposal include:

• extending ‘No Stopping’ zones along Woodstock Avenue between Duke Street and the M7, Plumpton.

Transport invited feedback on the proposal to extend ‘No Stopping’ zones on Woodstock Avenue between Duke Street and the M7, Plumpton. Submissions were received until 5 April 2024.

After this consultation period, Transport carefully reviewed all feedback. There was majority support for the proposed 'No Stopping' zones extension. A consultation report was released in June 2024 to summarise the comments received, our responses and the next steps for the proposal.
