Is twenty plenty for Gardner Road?
I would say that the biggest practical difference in my life in the last five months since my election is the amount of post I receive! And this week my post-bag has had another couple of concerned letters about Gardner Road in it.
At the moment there are no speed restrictions other than the regular 30mph limit on this road, which is increasingly becoming absolutely packed with residents’ cars on both sides. Added to this are the trucks and other vehicles going to and from FDK Kitchens, and I think a lot of residents are worried that it won’t be long before there is an accident on this stretch of road. Given the large numbers of families in the area, this is particularly worrying.
Lib Dems have long supported 20mph zones around schools, and I wonder whether any local people have a view on whether we should press for similar restrictions in the Gardner Road area? I welcome your views on this subject, and if there is a consensus of opinion I can press the Council to act.
Rick
have your say
