Have your Say, Changes planned for Meadowhead Roundabout
7th December 2009
... Comments

Sheffielders can have their say on proposed changes to Meadowhead roundabout from 3rd December.

The changes are being proposed in a bid to improve congestion around the area. Local residents, businesses and people travelling through the area are being encouraged to comment on proposed changes around Meadowhead roundabout.

The council are asking for views on the area around Meadowhead roundabout and Abbey Lane. Meadowhead is an important gateway into and out of Sheffield. It is used by around 51,000 vehicles every day and we want to hear from the motorists that use it as well as people living and working in the area.  At the moment delays can be caused because of the narrow lanes and layout of the roundabout.

The main changes proposed in this scheme are:

  • Widening the approach lanes to the junction
  • Reshaping the roundabout
  • Filling in the pedestrian subways and replacing them with surface level crossings
  • Introducing traffic signals at the top of Greenhill Avenue and Dyche Lane

 

The proposals do not include putting traffic lights on the roundabout itself, but the new or improved pedestrian crossings will also help manage the number of vehicles approaching the roundabout from each direction.

More information about the scheme – including an online response form – is available at www.sheffield.gov.uk/meadowhead. Alternatively, please call 0800 273 4192 (Mon-Fri, 9am – 5pm) or write to:
