Background
In Nottingham City Council’s Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan, which sets out our long-term approach to developing comprehensive local cycling and walking networks across the city, St Ann’s Well Road was identified as one of the priority routes as it serves the north and east of the City where cycling provision is less developed compared to other areas.
A first phase of improvements to cycling provision along St Ann’s Well Road were completed in September 2024.
Now, a new project aims to join up this completed scheme with new improvements at the bottom of St Ann’s Well Road incorporating the roundabout as well as King Edward Street and Beck Street, thanks to funding from the East Midlands Combined County Authority.
This will provide a safe segregated cycle path as well as dedicated bike crossings over Huntingdon Street and Lower Parliament Street, providing a connection to the edge of the city centre.
What will the project involve?
On St Ann’s Well Road:
- Segregated cycle paths, including a path taking cyclists safely over the roundabout without needing to interact with traffic
- The pedestrian crossing at the bottom of St Ann’s Well Road at the roundabout will be renewed and a parallel crossing added for cyclists
- Roads and footpaths will be resurfaced
On Bath Street:
- The pedestrian crossing at the roundabout will be renewed and a parallel crossing added for cyclists
On Beck Street:
- A two way segregated cycle path running between Bath Street and Huntingdon Street and Huntingdon Street to Lower Parliament Street
- A signal controlled cycle crossing will be added parallel to the pedestrian crossings over the junctions with Huntingdon Street and Lower Parliament Street – also known as a Sparrow Crossing (see Crossings)
- The pedestrian crossing at the Brook Street junction will be renewed and a parallel crossing added for cyclists
On King Edward Street:
- A segregated one-way cycle path (eastbound) running between Huntingdon Street and St Ann’s Well Road
On Heathcoat Street:
Cyclists will be able to use Heathcoat Street 2-way, as is currently the case for nearby Goose Gate. Heathcoat Street is pedestrianised with one-way car access for deliveries only.
What are the next steps?
