Fishponds Road Area proposals The council is aware that unnecessary through traffic uses the residential roads in the Fishponds Road area to avoid traffic queues on the main A24 route. In response to a petition from local residents, the council is consulting on a traffic scheme to limit this unnecessary through traffic.
Comments These proposals aim to make it difficult for traffic to pass through the area by blocking access to existing cut-through routes. Although some through routes will remain, it is considered that these will be indirect and therefore not attractive to ‘rat-running’ traffic. However it is recognised that local residents will also be affected.
Proposals The proposal is to implement a series of road closures in the area by placing physical barriers across the roads. All traffic would be prevented from driving through the roads. Cycle lanes would be provided to allow cyclists to bypass the road closures. Details and locations of the road closures are shown over leaf.
Therefore it is important for you to consider these proposals carefully and let the council know your views by completing and returning the attached questionnaire by Friday 21 March 2014. The postage is prepaid. Should you require further information or assistance please contact Tony Maher on (020) 8871 8210 or email [email protected]
The scheme would be introduced for a trial six month period after which it would be reviewed with local people to see if the measures should remain or be removed. S M Kempster Assistant Head of Operational Services Environment and Community Services February 2014
