The residents and businesses of Jericho have been fighting for months to overturn the unplanned and unwanted closure of the key junction of Walton Street and Beaumont/Worcester Streets.
84% of businesses oppose the continued closure of this vital connection to the rest of the city.
Hundreds of Jericho residents have signed the petition demanding the councils think again.
Many residents are suffering due to displaced traffic being forced down side streets.

Update May 2021: After causing so much division in the community, the Walton Street road block will be removed. Now the road has been reopened, we hope the Council will let the community heal and let businesses & jobs prosper again.
