Have your say on the Overpool Road Improvements
We want to make active travel a natural choice for more of our residents. We are proposing improvements for Overpool Road to enable safer, comfortable and efficient active journeys.The route was identified through previous consultation for our Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan which sets out our walking and cycling networks to be developed.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the public engagement in August 2025. The Council has been progressing designs and we are now looking at all the comments received through the online survey and drop in events. The outcomes from this engagement will be discussed with ward councillors and our Highways Team to determine what can be taken forward.
Please take a look at the proposals on the plans below:

The proposed changes include:
- a two way cycle track on the west side of Overpool Road, together with using the residential streets, will make a continuous cycling route
- parking areas and new planting along the route
- new signalised crossings:-
- south of the railway bridge to provide safer access to Overpool rail station
- new signalised crossings at the junction with Princes Road
- connecting Waverton Road with Brooklyn Drive supporting a safer route to Acorns Primary and Nursery School
- north of the roundabout at Tarporley Road to help people walk to the shops
