Conclusions
The Julian Road Campaign calls for a constructive and informed engagement with our local Transport and Highways department so that together we can ensure that "shared space" principles are used to improve the pedestrian experience and the aesthetic amenity of the Julian Road zone. Correctly designed and implemented a "shared space" approach will directly address a key element of the Government's road safety strategy, namely the safety of vulnerable road users. Ultimately, our community needs to assume ownership of the "shared space" zone and therefore the development and refinement of professionally supported communication and education tools are important. By monitoring outcomes and ensuring their effectiveness, with respect to road safety, we will contribute to the growing interest in the innovative shared space concept and we will willingly share our experience with others so that lessons can be learned and used on a national rather than purely local basis.

I have plans and drawings of the new proposals for the improvements to phase 1 and for phase 2. These will be ready for public consulation which will take place on the afternoon of August 31st on St Andrew's Green.
Also I have some photos of before and after.
Christopher CHRISTOPHER MANNS of Bath Spa University has written a dissertaion about the project and will presumably also have photos. I can advise his e-mail address.
I suggest you also contact Paola Spivach of Hamilton-Baillie associates who is our highway architectural advisor on this project.

Hi,
I am studying an MSc course in Accessibility and Inclusive Design, and am currently working on an assignment about designing for accessibility and inclusiveness. One aspect I am looking at for this is the concept of shared space. I am wondering if anyone has any photographs of the Julian Road area that I could use? Any photos, or thoughts on shared space, gratefully received!
