PROPOSED TOUCAN CROSSING, GREENWAY LANE, FAKENHAM

ℹ️ Please note: This information is being shared on behalf of Norfolk County Council. If you have any questions, please contact them directly using the details below.

Norfolk County Council (NCC) are proposing to construct a new Toucan crossing on Greenway Lane at Fakenham near to the junction with Holt Road. Alterations are also proposed at the Holt Road and Thorpland Road junctions with Greenway Lane where shared use paths and a refuge island would be installed, narrowing the junctions. This is being proposed to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists travelling through the area and crossing the road at this location. A plan showing the proposals is included below or can be viewed at the Town Council office.

As part of this proposal NCC are holding an informal consultation and are currently inviting the local community to share their views.
