Church Road Phase 2 Plans Underway
Latest plans have been published by Monmouthshire County Council for the 2nd phase of the Church Road, Caldicot Development works. Works have recently started, but full details of the plans are now available to view here.
The 2nd phase of the plans to improve Church Road have been made available with the work having already started on the 13th March.
Monmouthshire Count Council and Horan Construction Ltd are about to start work on the second phase of improvements to Church Road in Caldicot. The scheme has been designed to:
- manage traffic and parking during school drop off and pick up times
- reduce traffic speed
- provide a safer, more pleasant environment for walking and cycling
- create a more attractive, greener street with more planting and wider footways
- improve the link between the town centre and Caldicot Castle and Country Park
The Church Road scheme responds to consultation with residents that was done in 2020. The top four priorities that local people identified were parking at school drop off and pick-up times, narrow pavements, traffic speeds, and lack of places to cross the road. The project delivers improvements on all of these issues.
Funding for the work in Church Road is from the Welsh Government’s Active Travel Fund, Transforming Towns programme, and Monmouthshire County Council.
Complete waste of money….
Parents dropping their children off will not use the car park and walk back up to the school. They will simply stop their car where they like and the child will jump out.
