Approval is sought to proceed with legal TRO advertising and approval to modify the highway of Chorlton Road / Moss Lane West / Shrewsbury Street / Upper Chorlton Road (Brooks Bar) Junction (contained at the end of the Area 2 route). Area 2 forms part of the Bee Network being delivered through the Mayors Challenge Fund. Area 2 will provide an extension to the walking and cycling improvements that are being delivered as part of the CCAG package of improvements.

Approval is also sought for the specific improvements at Brooks Bar junction. This junction will deliver cycling and walking improvements that will connect into other schemes already approved and in the process of being delivered to provide the much-needed cycling infrastructure which extend the link to the city from the Chester Road roundabout cycle network that has recently been completed.
