Parking changes
- some single yellow lines converted to double yellow lines why not at Werrington-Aldenham (Sheet 5 Viewport 1)?

Issues
- Doric Way at Eversholt Sheet5 Viewpoint2. The Mobility Hub scheme drawing shows a marked mandatory cycle lane at the junction.
- Check also Drummond Crescent at Eversholt Street for entry treatment this photo from July 2024 shows a rather inadequate line for entry treatment and the Except Cycles sign is missing . On StreetView Sept 2025 the sign has been fixed .
- Polygon -Werrington (Sheet 4 Viewpoint1 ) very narrow section – OK for cycles?
