VICTORIA ROAD
Ferndown Town Council is pleased to share the designs for the long-awaited improvements to Victoria Road.
The scheme reflects the shared commitment of councillors and officers from both councils, whose collective vision, collaboration and investment have helped shape proposals that will enhance the town centre for residents, businesses and visitors, and builds upon the work of Councillors Lugg and Parkes (Ferndown North) which dates back many years. By working together since the elections in May 2024, both councils have been able to develop and finance a scheme which reflected as closely as possible the views of residents.
The next stage of the project will focus on identifying opportunities to provide much-needed accessible and short-term parking, responding to requests from local businesses and residents, whilst ensuring that pedestrian safety remains the highest priority. Details of the proposed Traffic Regulation Order, which would support these measures, will be published shortly, and residents are encouraged to take part in the consultation when it opens.
This project demonstrates what can be achieved when local councils work together with a shared purpose, Ferndown Town Council and Dorset Council look forward to continuing this positive partnership as the project progresses and to working together on future initiatives that will benefit the wider community.
