We Asked, You Said, We Did

Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes

We asked

We sought views on the proposal to remove a tree on Braunstone Avenue as part of the traffic calming improvement works.

The tree is located in the proposed work area which needs to be removed due to the proximity to the works meaning that it would be unlikely to survive if left in situ.

You said

No responses were submitted.

We did

We reviewed this feedback and the decision has been made to remove the existing tree. The tree will be felled prior to the scheme completion in November 2026.

As part of the tree strategy, for every tree lost, there needs to be two replacements. Therefore, two new trees will be planted opposite to the existing location with the species to be a like for like replacement.

 

We asked

A number of residents raised concerns with the Council and Ward Councillors about parking issues in Lancashire Street and St Michaels Avenue. This included two petitions. The majority of issues relate to difficulties finding parking spaces close to their home due to commuters or other visitors to the area taking up available parking spaces, especially since the introduction of a residents’ parking scheme on neighbouring Stafford Street.

From February to April 2026, a public engagement with residents and businesses in the Lancashire Street/St Michaels Avenue area was conducted to obtain their views on a potential residents parking scheme. 

You said

Approximately 244 residential and businesses were invited to take part in the consultation. In total we have received 131 responses on paper and via this website from residents and businesses in the area (53.7%). Responses were analysed by council officers.

  • 119 residents or business supported the proposed residential parking scheme (90.84%)
  • 10 residents or businesses did not support the proposed residential parking scheme (7.63%)
  • 2 residents or businesses did not answer the question or had no opinion (1.53%) 

In addition, respondents included comments both for and against residents parking in the area.

We did

The response data and comments have been analysed in more detail to determine whether or not to continue with further engagement with residents and businesses over potential measures to manage parking in the area. 

Residents’ responses to our 2026 public engagement on possible traffic measures in the Lancashire Street/St Michaels Avenue area indicated that there is a significant support for a residents’ parking scheme to address the issue of non-residents parking in the area. 

Based on these consultation responses, we are now preparing for a formal engagement involving the Traffic Regulation Order process.

Thank you to all those who took the time to give your views.

We asked

We sought views on the proposed removal of a semi‑mature lime tree on St Saviours Road. The tree has been identified as the cause of ongoing damage to a nearby property.

You said

We received one response to the online consultation. The respondent did not express a view either in favour of or against the proposed removal.

We did

We have reviewed the feedback alongside the technical evidence. As the tree has been directly linked to continuing property damage, it is classed as an actionable nuisance in law. In these circumstances, there is no reasonable alternative to removal.

The decision is consistent with the council’s tree strategy and policy and a replacement tree will be planted in an alternative location.
