Chatsworth Road Liveable Neighbourhood

We’ve made improvements in the Chatsworth Road area to create streets that are safer, more welcoming and accessible.

Find out more about what’s changed and why.

What’s changed

Since August 2025, the following changes have been made:

Chatsworth Road is closed on Sundays from 6am to 8pm to most vehicles between Dunlace Road and Blurton Road to create a pedestrian-only Sunday market (emergency services, council bin lorries and market traders are still allowed access)
a traffic filter restricts most southbound vehicles on Chatsworth Road (just past Clifden Road) Monday to Friday between 7am and 7pm. Buses, cyclists, pedestrians, emergency vehicles, council bin lorries, Blue Badge holders with a HAC01 permit and taxis booked through the Taxicard service are still allowed.
turning restrictions and one-way streets are in place
parking restrictions are in place on Blurton Road, Glenarm Road, Dunlace Road, Elderfield Road and Chatsworth Road

Over the past 2 years, we’ve listened to local people and businesses through surveys and consultations to understand what matters most to them.

Using this feedback, along with traffic data, we designed the changes to:

make Chatsworth Road and the surrounding area easier to walk, wheel and cycle in
improve journey times for buses and ambulances
reduce traffic in the area
improve the area as a place to visit and shop, including on market day

Since we made the changes we’ve:

introduced measures to monitor the impact of the scheme for at least 3 years
created a temporary data presentation (Google Slides) that reflects the main concerns we heard from people during the consultation

Traffic patterns take time to settle. Following our usual process, we’ll collect data for 6 months and then review how the scheme is working.

We ran a public consultation on draft proposals from 7 January 2025 to 21 February 2025. Around 2,000 people shared their views.

Find out more about the consultation, including the responses in our consultation report (Google Slides).
