Current position and next steps

We reviewed the feedback from the 2025 Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) consultation and developed a new approach to delivering the project. Cabinet agreed this approach in April 2026.

After the local elections in May 2026, the new Cabinet Member for Transport agreed to continue with it.

We will now split the project into separate packages. Each package will go ahead at a different time, once it has the right approvals and has been through statutory consultation.

This means we can deliver simpler changes that most people support sooner. At the same time, we will do more work on the main issues raised in the 2025 TRO consultation, especially for the area to the east of Kings Heath High Street (A435).

What the project now includes

The project will include:

• revising and upgrading the phase 1 measures to the west of Kings Heath High Street (A435)
• a 20mph speed limit across the project area
• traffic calming and a new zebra crossing on Billesley Lane
• new proposals for the area to the east of Kings Heath High Street (A435) and in South Moseley

Next steps

We will base future proposals on the Healthy Streets approach. This means making changes that discourage through traffic and make streets feel safer for everyone.

Any changes we propose must be clearly justified. Before we bring forward new proposals, we will do more investigation and development work, especially for the area to the east of Kings Heath High Street (A435).

We remain committed to delivering the Kings Heath and Moseley Places for People project. The funding for the project is still available.
