Queens Walk, Ruislip - Petition requesting a pedestrian crossing Minutes: Councillors Raymond Graham and Michael White attended as Ward Councillors in support of the petitioners.
Concerns, comments and suggestions raised at the meeting included the following:
Ward Councillor Michael White spoke on behalf of petitioners: · Councillor White stated that Queens Walk had particular features that distinguished it; it had width restrictions at one end and a hill in another part. · There had been several accidents on the road. · A pedestrian crossing could be a safeguard for children and the elderly. · It would visually slow down traffic and would have traffic calming measures. · The crossing was a need; Councillor White echoed the concerns of the petitioners and Councillor Graham.
Councillor Keith Burrows listened to the concerns of the petitioners and responded to the points raised: · The Cabinet Member asked officers to check the number of Killed & Seriously Injured (KSI) reported on the road. · The Safer Neighbourhood Team could look at ‘hot spots’. · A feasibility study was required and would be undertaken.
Officers advised that: · They would engage with the Police and Emergency Services and take their views into account. · The school had included in its Travel Plan an aspiration to have a crossing and therefore they had supported the petitioners’ request. The school would be involved in discussions. · Officers would discuss timings of a speed survey with the Safer Neighbourhood Team. · Realistic timing for the installation, if carried out, could be in the half term of October/November. · The Council had to follow legal/statutory processes; therefore views from residents who lived in the area would be sought. · Road safety would be the overriding concern for the Council.
Resolved - That the Cabinet Member:
1. Met and discussed with petitioners their request for the installation of a pedestrian crossing on Queens Walk, near the junction of West Mead.

Minutes: Councillor John Hensley attended as a Ward Councillor in support of the petitioners.
Concerns, comments and suggestions raised at the meeting included the following:
Ward Councillor John Henley spoke on the petitioners behalf: · Councillor Hensley submitted a petition on behalf of Milton Court residents for the Cabinet Member to consider with the petition that was heard. · Residents were unaware of the different options available to them and Councillor Hensley had discussed this with the petitioners. · A yellow line would restrict the residents in the street as well as commuters. · A Residents Parking Scheme would in effect give residents back their street. · This area was open to day time parking abuse and the ‘Stop and Shop’ scheme that was implemented in Swakeley’s Road, whilst benefited the local area, had exacerbated the commuter parking problem for some residents. · Councillor Hensley asked that petitioners be given suitable options in the consultation. · Petitioners were advised to discuss this with other residents in the area.
Councillor Keith Burrows listened to the concerns of the petitioners and responded to the points raised. · The Cabinet Member stated that issues related to sale of cars on the side of the road was an enforcement issue and would be dealt with separately. · He explained the Resident Parking Scheme to petitioners. They would receive visitor parking tickets that they could give people that visited them. Tickets did not need to be issued if people were visiting them outside the parking time restriction hours. · Additional books for residents would cost £5 if they required extra visitor parking tickets, each book contained 10 tickets. · This scheme gave residents their road back. · The ‘Stop & Shop’ scheme had helped the local businesses and they were extremely happy with it. · It would be of benefit to all residents if the Council carried out a wider consultation which included the residents ... view the full minutes text for item 17. |
