Some good news and some bad news
July 3rd, 2008 by michaelwyatt
Cllr Michael Wyatt has been campaigning for over a decade for action to be taken at the Warrenhills Road and Meadow Lane junction, and at the Meadow Lane Cross Roads. Michael Wyatt submitted two petitions last November urging the county council to take action against illegal parking at the Meadow Lane Cross Rds and requested action be taken to have the speed limit reduced on Warrenhills Rd.
Cllr Michael Wyatt said “The County Highways bosses have responded to the two petitions with some good news and some bad. The good news being that they have listened to us, they have agreed to reduce the speed limit on Warrrenhills Road from 60mph to 50mph, which is a start, but the bad news is that they feel that illegal parking is not a problem and that they do not intend to do anything at the Meadow Lane Cross Roads to make it safer” “Concerning the Meadow Lane Cross Roads I am very disappointed we have not yet convinced them that action needs to be taken. I intend to continue our campaign and send the evidence I have, that there is a real danger of illegally parked cars at the Meadow Lane cross rds, which is causing a danger to other drivers and pedestrians. I would urge all residents to ring the District Council Customer service number, 01530 454545 and complain until they do finally wake up and take action.”
“Concerning the reduction in the speed limit from 60mph to 50mph on Warrenhills Rd, I welcome this, but I certainly feel this does not go far enough. What we need is the speed limit reduced to 40mph, which is a more sensible limit, especially when you have two school entrances within yards of the main road.”
