Proposed development for one section of the A452 Chester Road near Chelmunds Cross

Update: This consultation has now closed, but the consultation material will remain available to view. Thank you to everyone who engaged with the material and completed the survey.


The A452 Chester Road Improvement Scheme is a new multi-modal improvement scheme being developed to tackle congestion and reduce journey times along a key section of the A452.

The proposed scheme will aim to improve the highway capacity between the roundabouts with Moorend Avenue and Coleshill Heath Road in Chelmund’s Cross. The A452 Chester Road corridor currently experiences frequent vehicle queues and delays, particularly around the Hedingham Grove junction.

Current early designs for the scheme convert sections of the single lane carriageway into a two-lane dual carriageway in order to reduce congestion and improve journey times along the A452 corridor. The design also includes improvements for cyclists and pedestrians by creating a safe and fully segregated new cycle route and resurfacing existing footways.

The consultation will run for six weeks, until Monday 18 March 2024.


We want to hear your feedback on the scheme, particularly from local residents and commuters who use the current route. All comments received in response to this consultation will be considered and will be used to help inform how the scheme is taken forward.

You can download and view the current plans using the link in the ‘Documents’ panel on the right-hand side of this page. You’ll also find a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the scheme.

Once you’ve had a chance to take a look, you can fill in our survey via the ‘Survey’ tab below to share your thoughts and comments on the scheme.

Alternatively, why not come and talk to us in person? You can meet the project team and share your views by coming along to one of our drop-in sessions at Three Trees Community Centre:


  • Tuesday 20 February, 3pm – 6pm
  • Saturday 2 March, 1pm – 3:30pm


Physical copies of the consultation material and accompanying survey are available upon request at Chelmsley Wood library.
