THE WOLVERHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL (CITY CENTRE) (PEEL STREET) (ONE WAY TRAFFIC) ORDER 2026

The proposed restrictions are required in parts of Peel Street and Salop Street (City Centre) are required to support the Smithgate Development and accommodate changes to the highway layout on Peel Street. The proposals include the re-advertisement of the existing one-way traffic arrangement, the relocation of a bus stop and introduction of a bus stop clearway, together with double yellow lines and kerb markings to maintain safe and efficient movement of traffic.

Additional bus stop clearways are proposed on Salop Street to improve access for public transport, whilst an existing loading bay is proposed to be converted to disabled parking bays to improve accessibility for Blue Badge holders. Overall, the measures are intended to improve road safety, support public transport operations, and ensure the effective use of the highway network.
