Bowes Road, Wivenhoe

We’d love to hear about your travel habits and how you're finding our Safer Streets for Schools project on Bowes Road now that the changes are complete. Your feedback will help us better understand how people experience the street and explore ways we can work together to make it safer for everyone. 

In the Spring and Summer of 2026, these changes were made:

• New zebra crossing to improve safety and ease crossing the road.
• Red route parking restrictions outside the school operating at school pick-up and drop-off, helping to reduce congestion and improve visibility during busy drop‑off and pick‑up times.
• Barriers along the pavement to provide physical protection
• Increased presence of Enforcement Officers 

What we've also offered the schools:

• Cycle training for children

Why your views matter
