Acre Lane - Timeline

For each corridor, we collect a range of data to inform our designs. We also use best practice when creating bus priority measures.

For certain corridors where journeys are more straightforward, we produce a concept design for people to give feedback on during a Design Engagement phase.  

For the more complex corridors, i.e. corridors that also pass through a town centre or cover a significant distance (e.g. Acre Lane), we first organise an Initial Engagement Phase to collect information on people’s journeys, loading/servicing data from local businesses, and get general feedback from stakeholder organisations. This information is then used with our other data to create a concept design which is presented for feedback by a follow-up Design Engagement phase. 

As part of our engagement, we reach out to local communities to make sure their views are represented. We contact stakeholder organisations like Tenant and Resident Associations, hold discussions with local ward councillors, carry out online engagement and letter drops so the public can stay informed and their feedback taken on board. During the Initial Engagement Phase, we also organise in-person events to collect feedback.
