Northwich's Kingsway becomes one-way under active travel scheme

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 31 Oct, 16:38 · Archive

Northwich's Kingsway is now permanently one-way southbound between Chester Way and Victoria Road.

Cheshire West and Chester Council has introduced a permanent one-way restriction on Northwich's Kingsway between Chester Way and Victoria Road. Traffic is now permitted southbound only. The order came into force on 16 October and was publicly announced on 22 October as part of the council's Active Travel Scheme.

The council says parking on both sides of Kingsway effectively reduces the road to a single lane, leading some motorists to speed up to avoid meeting oncoming traffic. The council believes the one-way system will improve safety on the road.

Anyone wishing to object to the order has six weeks from 22 October to submit representations, quoting reference PTRO800.
