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.
