A Historic Core Zone - the solution to traffic management in a Historic Town?

Bradford on Avon - 10 June 2010

    

About the conference

More than 12 years since the original HCZ project, historic towns are still finding that the principles put forward then are just as relevant today.

Heavy traffic can have a very detrimental impact on towns and city centres and this problem is amply demonstrated in the pretty Wiltshire town of Bradford on Avon.

But Wiltshire Council, the Town Council, Colin Buchanan and HTF are working together to find a solution, and the feasibility study for the creation of a Historic Core Zone will be shared with others facing these challenges.

This event offers the opportunity for those working in historic towns and facing traffic management challenges to visit Bradford on Avon, to see the problems and the proposals, and to discuss the issues with experts and fellow practitioners.

This conference will carry CPD certification
