Coronation Ave

After receiving complaints about speeding traffic on coronation ave we have asked that the mobile speed monitor is deployed at different parts of Coronation Ave on a regular basis.

We have asked in the first instance that the monitor if placed close to the local Junior school where there is a perceived problem.

Drivers in this area seem to be ignoring the 20mph zone or forgetting about it so we are hoping that this will remind them that there is a need to slow down.

Number 10 Bus Route

I have written to First Bus asking them to ensure that the Number 10 Bus that stops by the Trowbridge House on Coronation Ave in the Outbound direction actually uses the new Bus Stop with the new build outs.

It seems from complaints that I have received that the bus has been stopping at the Old Bus Stop, I hope that this will soon be resolved and that First Deals with the complaint quickly.
