Yellow Option
Enhancement of The Square, with existing traffic conditions
- This option would enhance the appearance of The Square as a place for people, whilst maintaining the existing road layout for traffic.
- Dedicated delivery and drop-off bay defined by planters and an additional tree to the edge of The Square.
- Installation of a bus shelter.
Note: This phase of consultation has now ended. You can still read the comments that people made, but you will not be able to add further comments. The sub-group will now consider all the feed-back and produce draft final proposals for consultation in March.

A place for people to meet and spend time in the heart of Wivvy.
Does not address misuse of yellow lines
Nothing will stop people parking there unless it was a Zebra crossing and Zig zags but then delivery trucks wouldn’t be able to park either.
I like the idea of a possible portico on the other options I’m not sure that it is on this option or not. I think the addition of it would further advance the design.
I agree and I wonder why the Portico is not part of this plan. Also this plan doesn’t help with the traffic problem.
I don’t think it’ll solve the traffic issues in the square
Wider pavements would really help people with mobility problems, wheelchairs, pushchairs, mobility scooters.
Does not resolve the traffic issues
Car still predominates
Work common to all versions bring some improvement for pedestrians
The delivery bay will be abused by car drivers parking there and blocking the road and dropped kerbs which is the main problem with The Square today. This options will do nothing to resolve the parking/traffic issues.
I like the planters
Businesses need access for deliveries and the larger lorries we are seeing now together with all the white vans for the other deliveries not sure how that would work with the all the cars as the width of the road will still cause blockages
Who on earth thought of the pavement build outs? Have you seen the size and congestion of some of the traffic? Terrible idea.
These suggestions are good for improving the Square as a place for people.
The best of the lot…. keeps the traffic flow thro the square but why not do away with the planters and give that space over to parking thus widening the road and taking nothing away from the communal square space.
Like it or not…traffic has to flow thro the square and drivers MUST adhere to the restrictions….
Minimal change.
Pavement build out – throughout all options.
Keeping the large brick paved area.
Reduce brick paved area and put in a couple of disabled spaces and a delivery bay. Use of these could be reserved to, say 8.30 am to 5.30 pm. Outside those times, any vehicles could use those apaces.
I like the planters and the position of the bus shelter.
like the planters
Delivery bay is still blocking the road/traffic flow and still making it difficult/unsafe for pedestrians to cross the road (you can’t see around the vans/lorries. – no change from the current situation.
This doesn’t really change anything. The Square will still be car dominated
I like the pedestrian enhancements.
Drop-down curb access? Don’t think this will change driver behaviour or impact the parking situation.
Put the parking spaces diagonally where the planters are, and move the planters towards the shops while still allowing plenty of space. One-way traffic down West Street.
All options have too much emphasis on pedestrianisation. Strip out the traffic and a town centre soon dies (look at Tiverton). Make the square a square again with some short term parking for quick darts into co-op/ library/ chemist…
This seems to be the most sensible option. We need to remember that large vehicles need to be able to access villages, farms and businesses up through Langley. Also delivery lorries need easy access to the shops in town Parking regulations could be enforced with the use of cameras and fines put towards community projects.
The bus has recently decided to stop in croft way so a bus stop here will not be needed.
Preferred option.
Ensure line of sight for pedestrians crossing the streets and cyclists turning at junctions are considered.
The location of the drop off area for deliveries makes sense, extra planters enhance the area.
