What happens next
We're committed to delivering the Polwarth project as soon as possible. Depending on what the consultation tells us, we hope to create and advertise new traffic orders within the next year. Depending on how the traffic order process goes and other factors, we expect to deliver the project in financial year 2026/ 27.
You'll have another chance to comment on the traffic orders. The results will then go to our TRO Sub-committee. Traffic orders help us manage how our roads are used and make changes to things like road layout, parking and bus stops. Read more about our traffic orders.
