West Ave Yellow Lines

By Cllr Sharon Ball

Sharon & Sarah Moore on side where lines have been asked for.

The Saga continues after my request over 18 months ago for double yellow lines to be put in on the side of the road from 1 to 111 West Ave.

The matter was discussed at the Cabinet meeting in June where the cabinet member for Highways withdrew the item from consideration so that a late submition over the safety of School Children crossing the road was submitted by Oldfield Infants School.

It is frustrating that this matter that has taken so long to come close to a resolution has again been held up but it is important for all the safety issues to be addressed.

A meeting will be held shortly on site with the Cabinet member to hopefully resolve the matter.
