Below is a list of all our consultations. Some maybe ongoing, and some may have ended. The Traffic and Road Safety department want to hear your views and will enter details of their plans, background information and how to have your say.
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, as part of the low carbon agenda relating to transport, is engaged in the Office for Low Emission Vehicle funded On Street Residential Charge point Scheme to create an electric vehicle charge point network across the borough. This project is to encourage the move to electric vehicles which should provide a cleaner environment.
Part of the project is to provide on street charging points on the streets where off street charging facilities are not available. The stay is restricted to 6 hours, no return in 6 hours, 6am to 6pm all days, while charging/topping up batteries, primarily aimed at residents and their visitors in the area.
The project is a trial and therefore an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) has been used to introduce the electric charging places and the use of the bay will be monitored.
Residents, councillors, MPs and council departments have raised concerns regarding some existing restrictions which need removing or altering to reflect current circumstances across the borough.
As part of Dudley Council's commitment to the safe movement of traffic (including pedestrians), various restrictions and revocations are proposed on the roads included in the proposed Orders listed below to address these concerns.
Any letters of objection and all written comments with respect to the proposed order should be emailed to traffic.consultation@dudley.gov.uk or addressed to Traffic Group Manager - Traffic Management and Road Safety, Dudley MBC, Lister Road Depot, Netherton, Dudley, DY2 8JW, stating the grounds on which they are made and should be received by no later than 14 March 2025.
The following Orders will come into force by 21 February 2025:
20mph zone
Prohibition of waiting and loading restrictions
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council have made the above-mentioned Orders, the effects of which will be that certain lengths of the roads listed in the following document below will have new and revoked restrictions in place as stated.
Any person who wishes to question the validity of the Order, or any of the provisions, on the grounds that they are not within the powers of the relevant enabling Act, or that any requirement of that Act, or of any relevant regulation made there under has not been complied with may, within six weeks from the date on which the Order was made, make an application for the purpose to the High Court.
Details of the proposals are shown in following documents:
When a School Street is in operation, the road temporarily becomes a Pedestrian and Cycle Zone, at school drop-off and pick-up times. By temporarily closing the road to motor vehicles at the start and end of the school day, School Streets help by:
Reducing traffic outside the school, which reduces emissions and makes the air around the school cleaner at peak times for children
Making it safer to walk, cycle, scoot, and wheel to school. Children will benefit from increased physical activity on their journey to and from school
Reducing traffic congestion and parking problems outside the school and reducing road danger
Dudley Council is inviting residents and businesses to take part in a Black Country consultation regarding proposed transport schemes. Black Country Transport (BCT) has secured funding for the schemes, which aim to maximise travel options on the A461 corridor, between Dudley, Brierley Hill and Amblecote.
Parking restrictions require a Traffic Regulation Order and are installed to improve road safety and reduce congestion. View the Traffic Regulation Orders via our online map, including links to car park tariffs and limited waiting restriction times.
