The purpose of the proposed restrictions are
to support the improved amenity in Nelson Town Centre, with
improved pedestrian and cycle access and linkage across
Nelson.
All the proposals will work together to create a safer environment
for pedestrians, cyclists, and vulnerable users. It is hoped this
will give confidence to encourage more users to consider commuting
via non-motorised means and this will improve health and air
quality for the residents of Nelson.
