Abbeville Road Reimagined Timeline

Designing Abbeville Reimagined

When designing Reimagined Street improvements, we look at pre-trial data, the Equalities Impact Report, and feedback from the community.

Taking on board the views of residents, businesses and community groups help us understand how people use the street.

We focus on real experiences—like the routes people prefer to cycle, places where they've felt at risk from cars, or where they've seen unsafe driving. We also look at areas that feel unsafe at night or spots where older people struggle with cluttered pavements or need more time to cross. 

For businesses, we think about delivery times, customer access, and ways to make it easier for people to walk, wheel, scoot, or cycle to them.

We consider feedback from protected groups, like members of the LGBTQ community, disabled people, and young families, to understand what they need to ensure they feel included and can travel through the area easily and confidently.

By taking all these insights into account, we develop a design which we believe best meets the Abbeville Reimagined goals and the community’s unique needs.

Design Report and engagement

We use everything we discovered in the previous stages to create a Design Report.

The Design Report explains what we've learnt and how that's helped shape the Abbeville Reimagined trial.  We will publish this report and reach out to the local community and key groups for feedback. These comments will help us determine if the plan meets the goals of the trial and addresses the community's needs.

Final Design and Decision Report

We take in the comments and feedback to our design report and make changes where needed, producing the final design that will be implemented as the Abbeville Reimagined trial.

This design will be made public through a Decision Report and published online on the council's website.
