Cardross St - Proposed Changes to Waiting Restrictions
Is anybody else for or against this daft idea?Extract from email to LBHF... I am staggered to hear your proposal, given the problems we had with Mr Khana et al when Zone L was introduced, and before that when you 'arranged' for 500 cars an hour to be diverted up Cardross St by installing a barrier at the northern end of Bradmore. I will detail my very many objections over the coming days, but for now please let me request further information. 1. How many properties in Cardross St have requested a double yellow line be implemented. 2. What proportion of these are residents on the western side. 3. I suspect you treat these letters in confidence, but would you be able to identify key residents who have written to you on this subject by name and number in order that there can be an open discussion between them and those who are against this proposal. I am particularly concerned if they have held thmselves out to you as being representative of many other residents. 4. Why has the Council's position on emergency access changed since Zone L was introduced. Then Mr Khana told us "the Council only had a responsibility to provide unobstructed access during the hours 09:00 to 17:00." 5. Cars already travel much too fast up the road during the day, even with the recent cushions. What further traffic calming plans will you have to bring in once the natural calming of evening parked vehicles on the western side is removed. 6. How many incidents of emergency vehicles being unable to get to their destination have there been since Zone L was introduced, by service. 7. Which emergency services have expressed concern about access. Please provide the names of the contacts in these services who will be able to confirm their concerns direct to the residents. 8. What additional security steps will you provide to increase the security for residents who now will have to park 'several' roads away, away from the watchful eyes of their near neighbours and out of earshot from their car alarms. 9. What alternative measures have you considered as a possible solution. 10. What consideration have you given to the change in the 'evening ambience' that turning Cardross St, the nicest street in the area into a 24hr race track. 11. What public website do you offer or point residents at where they may collaborate in their peer-to-peer discussions and with you on matters such as this. I expect to think of further questions over the coming days, but in the meantime I look forward to your prompt reply on these questions such that I may research the matter fully in time to reply to your deadline.
