Traffic Problems in Hawthorn Grove and Sedgemoor

Last year, in response to residents' complaints, Cllr Roger Symonds and Cherry Beath called a public meeting about speeding traffic in Hawthorn Grove and Sedgemoor Road. Officers from the Council then went away to work on some options. The officer who was working on this issue has now left the Council, so we are at present talking to officers to find out who will be taking this issue over.

Cherry Beath and Cllr Roger Symonds have recently called on every house in Hawthorn Grove asking people whether they want traffic calming or not. The overwhelming reponse was that residents do want some form of traffic calming. The council officer who was looking at this has not yet been replaced. The findings of our survey will be presented to the South Local Committee to be sent on to the Transport Department to investigate.

We would like to thank the people who took part in the survey. If you were out and wish to have your views recorded please contact either of on the telephone numbers or email addresses on our 'calling card'.

Cherry and Roger, with the help of a local resident will carry out a similar survey of residents' opinions in Sedgemoor Road.

More Temporary Traffic Lights

There will again be traffic lights set up at the Ralph Allen Drive/North Road Junction during the last week of February to find out whether there is a need for any 'top up' of the fill already put into the road between Hadley Road and Ralph Allen Drive.

Investigations will also be carried out between the junction of North Road and Combe Road to just past the MoD entrance in Bradford Road, to findout the underground condition in this part of Bradford Road.

Teporary traffic lights will be in operation in either of these two areas throughout March and possibly even into April.
For further details ring 01225 477200 or call into the Information Centre in the Avenue on Mondays from 1pm to 5pm or on wednesdays from 3pm to 7pm.

The Friends held their inaugural Annual General Meeting on 19th January in Holy Trinity Church. The group, chaired by Dr Andrew Smith, will keep a watching brief on developments in the field during the duration of the Combe Down Stone Mines stabilisation project and make sure that the views of local residents and users of the field are sought on the future of the field. The Council has pledged to restore the field to how it was before the Stone Mines project began.
