Views Sought On Fakenham Crossing

Wednesday, 5 August 2026 18:07

Residents are being invited to comment on plans for a new Toucan crossing and walking and cycling improvements in Fakenham.

People in Fakenham are being invited to have their say on proposals for a new Toucan crossing and other improvements designed to make walking and cycling safer.

Norfolk County Council has launched a public consultation on plans to install the crossing on Greenway Lane, close to its junction with Holt Road.

The scheme also includes new shared-use paths for pedestrians and cyclists, together with a refuge island to make crossing the road easier and safer.

Council officers say the improvements are intended to enhance safety at one of the town's busier junctions, encourage more people to walk or cycle for shorter journeys and improve access to nearby homes, schools and local facilities.

The project is expected to cost around £300,000, subject to final approval and funding arrangements.

Residents, businesses and regular users of the route are being encouraged to review the proposals and submit their views before the consultation closes on 1 September.

Feedback from the consultation will be considered before any final decision is made on whether the scheme should proceed.
