A street walk and discussion with street residents, Mike Davies (MD) of the County Council, and Councillor Jocelynne Scutt took place on Tuesday 21 May.
Issues raised in the letter to the council/streetscene (see post of May 5th for the background to the proposals) were discussed.
Actions agreed were:
- no entry signs at Victoria road end need 'except cycles' plates - MD to organise
- warning sign painted on road/signposted for oncoming cyclists in street at appropriate points - MD to organise
- refresh give way lines at each end of Garden Walk and double yellows in Garden walk, Victoria Rd - Evan Laughlin, (District Infrastructure & Streets Manager) to organise refresh when lining gang are around.
- extend hazard centre lines that link to Give Way, from Bateson Road back into Garden Walk so that the length of these lines is 50 metres, rather than 20 metres as existing - Evan Laughlin, (District Infrastructure & Streets Manager) to organise refresh when lining gang are around.
- pothole, approx location outside no 46 - Evan to add to pothole programme
- cycle symbol and arrow on road surface
- MD to consider
- cars/taxis rat running through Garden Walk. This cannot be enforced at present as 'flying motorbike'/except access sign is not prominent at junction of Stretten Ave/Bateson Rd. Two of these signs are probably required, ie 1 new one. - Evan to discuss with Sharon Piper (she leads on Traffic Regulation Orders).
PD (no 41) comments:
These would all be very valuable improvements. At the time of writing, only the pothole has been filled.
If we have two 'flying motorbike' no entry except for access signs at Stretten Ave/Bateson Rd, then prohibition of taxis and commuter parking would be enforceable.
I have written to MD and Councillor Jocelynne Scutt to ask about progress.
