Hall Carr, Rossendale - Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets project

Overview

Hall Carr, Rossendale 

This project will include various improvements to local streets and green spaces across the Hall Carr estate.  A new pavement and wayfinding signage through the green corridor that runs north-south through the estate will provide a new link into the existing public right of way off Hardman Avenue and countryside routes to the south, and the local shops near Bury Road to the north.  

Within this green corridor, there will be new community gardening facilities, seating, and wildflower and tree planting to encourage more wildlife and increase biodiversity. This will provide a better community facility that residents can enjoy for leisure and recreation activities.  

Fallbarn Crescent is the main east-west route through the estate and the improvements will be focused on managing traffic speeds along this route and making it safer for people to cross the road. This will involve raising the road to meet the kerb level (raised tables) at intervals along the route and narrowing junction mouths to make the crossing distance shorter. To improve road safety, bollards will also be introduced at the junction mouths to improve sight lines for people trying to cross the road and to discourage parking on pavements at the junctions.  

Based on feedback we are also introducing a new footpath between Fallbarn Crescent and Lavender Hill along Cherry Crescent. This new path will provide better access to the bus stop and the the school
