- Improved signage: We have improved the diversion route, advanced warning and traffic restriction signage to decrease driver confusion and non-compliance

- Hamilton Parklet The parklet on Hamilton’s has been implemented in conjunction with other parklets on Atlantic Road as part of a business support pack of measures for the Railton LTN. They can play a direct part in our plan to reopen high streets safely to support business and the community. Hamilton’s parklet is part of the Experimental Traffic Order and not a permanent feature. Therefore, we will seek feedback on it from the community before any decision will be taken on making it permanent
