Following the implementation of the bus gate, data gathered demonstrates there have been improvements in the environment, and reductions of traffic and the rate of collisions on Mill Road. 

The County Council is currently working with the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) and Cambridge City Council, gathering data and putting together a programme of workshops and drop-in events for 2026, which will ensure community and business concerns and ideas are front and centre in the development of the proposals. Some members of the community have already put forward ideas, and these will be carefully considered alongside further ideas and suggestions identified by residents and business-owners during future engagement.

 5th Studio, an architect and urban design company based just off Mill Road, has been commissioned to oversee the co-design work and assemble early concept designs. Community events will be hosted to ensure resident and business feedback is integral to emerging proposals. 

The County Council will work with the GCP to identify and implement short, medium and long-term measures. 

The GCP has allocated c. £600,000 to the design and delivery of the improvements. 

Works to carry out localised repairs (patching / pothole repairs) and refresh road markings should be on site early in the new 2026/27 financial year subject to the availability of road space on the network. Available funding for these works is up to £370,000.
