Oldham council chiefs said it soon became clear that there was 'strong opposition' to the proposals
Controversial plans to block streets to cars to prevent rat-running in an Oldham neighbourhood have been scrapped after ‘strong opposition’ from residents.
Council chiefs said that the authority had also been contacted by residents concerned about traffic and congestion in an area with several primary schools, including Burnley Brown and Bare Trees Primary Schools. However the plans sparked an outcry from local residents, with public consultation events in October becoming heated.Oldham council has now revealed it received 944 responses to the consultation, with many against all or most of the proposals in the scheme.
The scheme had proposed four access zones for motor vehicles to allow people to travel to households, from Broadway and Oldham Way, Featherstall Road, Featherstall Road North, and Middleton Road. “We’ve listened to you and for that reason we won’t be progressing with any parts of the plans. Proposals like the ones we consulted on attract strong opinions, and we understand that because they impact people’s everyday lives.
