Minutes: Concerns and suggestions raised at the meeting included the following:
Councillor Keith Burrows listened to the concerns of the petitioners and responded to the points raised. It was noted that there were 3 options that could be considered:
1. Change the parking restriction to 1 hour in the middle of the day- this option would prevent commuters from parking all day but would not stop local car companies from parking their vehicles in the area; 2. Reduce the current parking restriction to 1 hour each morning and afternoon; or 3. Remove the parking restriction completely - Petitioners were advised that commuters would be able to park on the street if the parking restrictions were lifted which would cause further parking problems for residents, parents and nursery staff.
Officers were asked to investigate the ownership of the land at the rear of the nursery. Once this ownership had been established, officers were asked to report back to Councillor Burrows on whether the area could potentially be converted into a car park.
Councillor Burrows advised the petitioners that, after the investigation into the land has been carried out, if they were unhappy with the outcome, they would be able to come back with another petition.
Resolved - That the Cabinet Member: 1. Noted the petition request.

Sedley Grove, Harefield - Petition Requesting the Installation of Speed Ramps and Bollards Minutes: Concerns and suggestions raised at the meeting included the following:
Councillor Keith Burrows listened to the concerns of the petitioners and responded to the points raised. Petitioners were advised that the two Ward Councillors for Harefield had given their support for the petition.
Officers explained that a higher kerb could cause a vehicle at high speed to flip, which could cause more damage or injury than a lower kerb. It was noted that bollards were not placed to protect people; they were usually used to stop drivers parking there.
Officers would look at the option of Vehicle Activated Signs (VAS) and Speed Indicator Devices (SID). Consideration would be given to including Sedley Grove in the programme’s next review.
As there was no possibility of installing 30mph repeater signs, officers were asked to investigate the possibility of erecting a sign with ‘30mph’ and a camera below it to remind drivers that there were speed cameras in the area.
The Cabinet Member suggested a 24/7 speed survey be carried out to record the volume and types of vehicles and the speeds travelled. After the results had been received, further consideration could be given to what action could be taken. Furthermore, the police would be advised of any information resultant from this survey that would assist in apprehending persistent speeders.
Resolved - That the Cabinet Member: 1. Noted the petition and the request for measures to address the speeding traffic in Church Hill and listened to the concerns of the petitioners; 2. Asked officers to conduct a 24 hour/seven day speed and volume ... view the full minutes text for item 2. |
