We have drafted highways proposals for the Bramhall Lane corridor between Blossoms Street and Windsor Street which aim to support sustainable travel choices and improve safety whilst maintaining and managing the performance of our existing transport network.
This proposed scheme would be paid for by the Government’s City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) and Transforming Cities Funding. These are national investment funds to improve local transport networks, access for local businesses and organisations, and to help residents get to amenities in their communities.
An element of the fund is allocated to ‘Bus Pinch Point’ schemes. These are schemes that aim to reduce bus travel time at known points of congestion and improve safety for bus users. The scheme for Bramhall Lane comprises upgrades to bus stops, pedestrian improvements to improve access to bus stops, such as a new controlled crossing and junction narrowings, and new parking restrictions to reduce congestion caused by parked vehicles.
The proposals include:
Bramhall Lane between the Adswood Lane East and Cale Green junctions:
Bramhall Lane / Beech Road junction:
Bramhall Lane to A6 Buxton Road via Hallam Park and Hallam Street:
We would like to hear your views on the proposals, and specifically to what extent you agree or disagree with them.
Please view the proposals and provide your feedback via the link at the bottom of this page. The consultation is running until 12th February 2023.

All responses to this consultation will be considered as part of the scheme development process prior to any implementation. Due to the anticipated volume of responses, please be aware we may not be able to enter detailed correspondence with individuals about points raised.
Delivery of the scheme is subject to approval and funding being agreed by the Government’s City Regional Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) scheme. If approved and awarded funding, the scheme would be delivered in the 2023/24 financial year (to March 2024).
