The Council introduced a temporary Prohibition of Driving on Oldfield Lane, Altrincham through the Government’s Emergency Active Travel Scheme Programme, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic to promote walking and cycling. A local consultation has been undertaken to seek views on retaining the closure on a permanent basis.

It is proposed to retain the closure on a permanent basis and insert a second closure point at the south western end of Oldfield Lane to make the closure more apparent to motorists. The closure would continue to allow pedestrians and cyclists access along the road and enable access to adjacent fields and to enable highway maintenance.
