King's Hedges isn't blessed with any specific one-way streets which we could ask for this change to be applied to but if you cycle into the City Centre and would like me to add any other roads to the project please let me know.

I'm very pleased to see Mercers Row on the list—this is on an important route for cyclists from Chesterton to Abbey, and there are a lot of wrong-way cyclists along here. However, where the road turns south and narrows, the sidewalks on both sides are used for parking by the businesses. So some provision would have to be made to replace this parking, otherwise cars would likely be parked on the contraflow cycle lane blocking it.
Another road that would be useful to add to the list would be Trafalgar Street. For getting from Victoria Avenue to properties on Trafalgar Road, it's a very long way round. More provision for a right turn for cyclists out of Trafalgar Road onto Chesterton Road (for example, a gap in the traffic island) would also be useful.
I have passed your request back back Officers to see if it can be added to the scheme.
