Traffic and Parking in Westmoreland

Sharon and I spent some time this afternoon with an officer from BANES Highways team looking at and discussing traffic and parking issues around Westmoreland.

There are a number of roads where the junctions are extremely unsafe due to parking on the corners and close to the corners.

We have asked the officer to look at traffic restrictions in the following areas:

• South Avenue/Maybrick Road Junction
• South Avenue/Mayfield Road Junction
• Bellotts Road
• Inverness Road
• Burnham Road

We have also discussed ways to monitor and reduce speeding cars around the area.

We will keep residents informed of progress, however, if you have similar issues where you live, please get in touch with us.

South Ave Rubbish

I have asked for several lots of dumped decaying rubbish to be removed from properties in South Ave.

The rubbish has been left outside of an HMO in the area and I hope that it will be cleared away soon.

If you are concerned about any rubbish that has not been cleared away then please let council connect know on 394041.

Parking Restrictions agreed

Sharon & Sarah above 111 West Ave

 I am very pleased with the meeting that I had today with Lib Dem Cabinet member for Transport Roger Symonds and officers of the council.

It was good news that we were able to agree at last for the double yellow lines to be extended from number 1 West Ave to the Bridge at Brook Road, We also agreed that double yellow lines would be extended on the opposite side of the road from Triangle North to the sharp corner of West Ave before you get to 110.

Slow makings are to be placed on the road leading from Lyndhurst Road and also in the opposite direct from the Triangle.

We also agreed for several sets of double yellow lines not to be put into place on several other places on West Ave but agreed to yellow lines at the Junction of West Ave & South Ave.

White keep clear lines will also be introduced at the Junction of Maybrick Road and South Ave.
