Overview
Highways Services, Department of Infrastructure seeks views on proposals for improving the amenity and accessibility within residential areas of Castletown, the purpose of which is to create streets and places that are easy to move around, safe and community based.
Why your views matter
A feasibility study will be conducted, and we would like to engage with people within the community to gather their views and experiences. Your views are essential in drafting a design which we hope will addresses, wherever possible, the needs of the community.
Areas which you may wish to consider could include:
- Reduce non-essential traffic using the area as a shortcut
- Consider making some roads/streets one-way
- Make it easier and reduce fears for people to walking, wheeling and cycle within the area
- Slow down the traffic moving within the area
- On-road parking improvements
Drop-in sessions will be available if you would like to discuss your views in person. These will take place at Castletown Civic Centre on the following dates:
- Wednesday 13 November from 10am to 12 noon
- Thursday 21 November from 2pm to 4pm
