More information about our proposed projects

Project: Greening and other improvements to existing traffic filters on Huddleston Road and Dalmeny Road to create "pocket parks" and make them a more accessible layout for people wheeling, walking and cycling.

What it could involve: 

• New greenery (trees and low-level planting) – including potentially by removing some parking spaces and building out pavements
• Potential for: 
  • New seating 
  • Informal play features for children

 Examples of planting and greening

Example of other features

Why do we want to make these types of changes?

• Make the filters a more accessible layout for people wheeling, walking and cycling 
• Greening can help soften the street environment, help mitigate climate impacts such as heat and flooding, and support biodiversity 
• Create additional places for people to stop and rest in the area when walking and wheeling, supporting physical and mental wellbeing

Please tell us your views and ideas about this:

• Fill in our short survey by Sunday 6 May 2025.
• Come and talk to us, we will be at the sites on the following date to talk to local people about your ideas and any questions you may have:
  1. Huddleston Road filter - Tuesday 29 April, 15:00 - 16:00
  2. Dalmeny Road filter - Wednesday 30 April, 15:00 - 16:00
