The works on Pump Lane and Crocus Way in Chelmsford are now complete, making the area safer and more accessible for all users. They included:
upgrading the existing zebra crossing to a signalised toucan crossing;
converting the existing footpath between Mayne Crest and Pump lane to a shared path for both pedestrians and cyclists;
upgrading the existing footway to a shared path between the junction of Mayne Crest and Pump Lane;
upgrading the existing footway to a shared path between the Pump Lane crossing and Crocus Way;
introducing new dropped kerbs, tactile paving and cycle markings at the junction of Pump Lane and Crocus Way;
introducing double yellow lines on part of Crocus Way and the junctions with Pump Lane, Clematis Tye and Forsythia Close to deter dangerous parking.
adding new cycle parking on the grass verge outside the shops on Crocus Way
The works followed a consultation with local residents held in the summer of 2025. We reviewed all the feedback and published our response.
The funding for these improvements comes from Active Travel England as part of the Active Travel Fund 4 (ATF4). We hope that future funding will enable us to improve other sections of the overall walking, cycling and wheeling route (know as Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan Chelmsford 3) which starts in Chelmsford city centre and continues into the Springfield and Beaulieu Park residential areas.
