FAQs
When will the project construction works start and finish?
We will be starting to deliver improvements in The Cally Liveable Neighbourhood improvements from Winter 2024/2025. We expect construction of all of improvements to take around 12-18 months to complete. We will notify affected residents and businesses ahead of construction, and will work to keep any disruption to a minimum. We will keep you updated as the project progresses.
What are traffic filters?
Traffic filters are fixed points on local streets, which most motor vehicles are not permitted to drive through. (See our FAQ "Will anyone be exempt from the traffic filters?" to find out who will be permitted to drive through the traffic filters).
Filters prevent motor vehicles from cutting through local streets in a neighbourhood, while still enabling people and visitors to drive in and out of their streets.
All addresses that can be reached by vehicle before the scheme is implemented will still be able to be reached by vehicle, but there will be reduced traffic in the area as people will not be able to take short-cuts through the area as part of wider motor vehicle journeys.

Will anyone be exempt from the traffic filters?
Local Blue Badge holders who live in The Cally Liveable Neighbourhood area can apply for an exemption that will permit them to drive through a filter. The council’s policies on Blue Badge exemptions and Individual exemptions to camera enforced traffic filters mitigate the impacts of traffic filters on those who rely most on driving for their mobility.
You can find out more about our Blue Badge holders exemptions policy (External link) and Individual exemptions policy (External link) on our website.
