Kings Heath and Moseley

We are making changes to reduce traffic in residential areas of Kings Heath and Moseley.

Our aim is to make it safer and easier for people to walk and cycle. We also want to create nicer spaces for children to play and for neighbours to spend time outside.

We delivered the first phase of this scheme in 2020. The second phase will build on this work and cover a wider area, using your feedback to shape the final design.

View the plan

You can see the outline design for the scheme in the plan below.

The plan below is not accessible. If you need help understanding it, email connected@birmingham.gov.uk and an officer will explain it to you.

We have carefully considered this plan and the feedback from previous consultations.

We believe it strikes the right balance between what people have told us and our responsibility to deliver key policies. These include:

• tackling the climate emergency
• reducing car journeys
• supporting walking, cycling and other forms of active travel in local neighbourhoods

Next Steps

Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) – September 2025

Before we make changes to the streets, we must carry out a final legal consultation. To change how roads are used, we need to issue Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs). This includes a statutory consultation period where people can submit objections to the proposed changes.

The consultation will run from Monday 15 September to Monday 6 October 2025 on Birmingham Be Heard. This consultation is only about the legal orders. Feedback on the overall scheme design was collected earlier in the project.

Making the changes to the streets

Once the TRO consultation ends, we can begin some of the work. Most changes can’t be made until we have reviewed and responded to any objections. You may see some work happening before Christmas, but most of it will take place in the New Year.

We will share more details about what’s happening and when before any construction starts. We aim to finish all construction by March 2026.

To Date

Packages 1 and 2 of the Kings Heath and Moseley Places for People scheme have been approved by Cabinet.

This decision was made after public consultation and a full review of the comments received. The Outline business case was approved in January 2023, and the Full business case was approved in July 2025.

We ran a consultation on the proposed designs for Packages 1 and 2 between 7 May and 9 June 2024. Over 1,000 people responded.

We reviewed all comments and made final changes to the proposals where needed.

You can view the consultation and the updated designs on the Birmingham Be Heard website.

Programme for delivery

Measures have been grouped into four packages and will be delivered over the next couple of years as follows:

• Package 1: improvements to phase 1 measures (to the west of the High Street) including the York Road pedestrian zone - to be delivered July to October 2025
• Package 2: measures being introduced as part of phase 2 (to the east of the High Street) including new modal filters, one-way streets, and traffic calming - to be delivered July to November 2025
• Package 3: 20mph speed limit across the project area, including all ‘boundary’ roads and measures on Coldbath Road - to be delivered February to March 2026
• Package 4: a bus gate on Addison Road and reinstate the right turn from Vicarage Road onto A435 Alcester Road - to be delivered April to June 2026

This timeline is based on the current programme but is subject to change in line with any governance and spend control processes in place.

Elements on all packages are also subject to statutory consultation on Traffic Regulation Orders, to take place before construction.

The dates above depend on a few things:

• resolving any objections to the Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs), or getting approval to go ahead even if some objections remain
• receiving valid tenders through the required procurement process, in line with our constitution
• avoiding unexpected issues during construction
