Winstree Rd & Villa Rd Area - Safer Streets

We’d love to hear about your travel habits and how you're finding the Villa Road and Winstree Rd area Safer Streets 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 February 2025 the following improvements were made:

  • Zebra crossing outside Stanway Primary School on Villa Road to improve conditions crossing the road, particularly from the park and stride side (Stanway Community Centre).
  • School Street Enforcement – officers are more frequently enforcing restrictions as well as encouraging considerate parking
  • Promotion of park and stride sites:
    • Co-op Springwood Drive, Peartree Road
    • Stanway Community Centre on Villa Road
  • Bikeability Training – Cycle safety training for pupils delivered over the past year

What we've also offered the schools:

  • School Travel Plans 
  • Active Travel Pledges – We encourage pupils to sign these each year to promote healthy, sustainable travel
  • Car Sharing Materials – Encouraging families to share lifts where possible
  • Sustainable Travel Route Maps – Helping families find the best walking and cycling routes
  • Pedestrian Road Safety Training – Teaching children how to stay safe on foot
  • Educational Materials – Including resources on air quality and anti-idling

Why your views matter

It is important to receive your feedback as it informs Essex County Council on the lived experiences of those within the area and help us understand the impact that interventions had.
