Woodstock Avenue, Plumpton

Transport has 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 is proposing to extend ‘No Stopping’ zones on Woodstock Avenue between Duke Street and the M7. 

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 feature of the proposal includes:

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

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

After this consultation period, Transport will carefully review all feedback and a consultation report will be released to summarise the comments received, our responses and the next steps for the proposal.
