Edwards Avenue, Ruislip - Petition Requesting Traffic Calming Measures PDF 128 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Councillor Jem Duducu attended the meeting and spoke as Ward Councillor in support of the petition. Although not present at the meeting, Councillor Allan Kauffman had provided a written statement in support of the petition, which was read out by Councillor Keith Burrows.
Concerns and suggestions raised at the meeting included the following: · It was noted that Edwards Avenue was being used as a rat run by speeding vehicles when West End Road was busy. Whilst traffic and speed monitoring had not illustrated this, the reality was that cars were speeding. However, this was not consistent throughout the day and was generally caused by sporadic high volumes of traffic on West End Road; · A motorist had been seen to verbally abuse someone who had motioned for them to slow down; · The police had been asked to provide a mobile speed camera in the road but the resource had been unavailable; · Approximately 60%-70% of pupils at Bourne Primary School used the entrance in Edwards Avenue. Most other schools had a 20mph limit around them to improve safety for the children; · It was suggested that the development of the Arla site would compound the existing problem; · A large number of learner drivers used Edwards Avenue during their lessons which did reduce the speed of other motorists; and · Ward Councillors suggested that speed tables would deter speeding traffic to a greater extent than a 20mph limit.
Councillor Burrows listened to the concerns of the petitioners and responded to the points raised. He noted that there had been previous speed surveys undertaken but that there appeared to be a problem as the issue kept coming back. The last survey had been completed just over a year ago and had not provided a clear picture. Councillor Burrows asked officers to undertake a further traffic volume and speed survey in October / November and, depending on the results of the survey, to consider adding Edwards Avenue to the Council’s Road Safety Programme for further investigation once the Arla site development had opened later in the year.
RESOLVED: Meeting with the petitioners, the Cabinet Member:
1. considered their concerns regarding vehicle speeds in Edwards Avenue;
2. noted the previous work associated with an earlier petition request, including the speed of vehicles recorded during a traffic volume and speed survey undertaken in February 2010 and February 2015, relevant details of which were set out in the body of the report;
3. decided officers should undertake further classified traffic volume and speed survey(s) at location(s) to be agreed with the petitioners and the relevant Ward Councillors; and
4. subject to the above, asked officers to add the petitioners’ request to the Council’s Road Safety Programme for further investigation.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The petition hearing will provide a valuable opportunity to hear directly from the petitioners of their concerns and suggestions.
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED
None at this stage. |

Additional documents: Minutes: Councillor Carol Melvin attended the meeting and spoke as a Ward Councillor in support of the petition.
Concerns and suggestions raised at the meeting included the following:
Councillor Burrows listened to the concerns of the petitioners and responded to the points raised. The implementation of a PMS could cause issues but the Council would be led by the residents in the roads affected by the issue. A full investigation would be undertaken which included detailed consultation giving every household, including those in the smaller adjacent roads, the opportunity to respond. If the majority supported the implementation of a PMS, residents would then be consulted on the design. If agreed by residents, once implemented, the scheme would be reviewed after 6 months and 12 months. Residents would again be consulted on any proposed revisions.
Councillor Burrows encouraged all residents to respond to the consultation to ensure that their voices were heard and considered.
RESOLVED: Meeting with the petitioners, the Cabinet Member:
1. listened to their request for a Parking Management Scheme to be introduced in the area.
2. decided that the request for a Parking Management Scheme in Moor Park Road, Grove Road and possibly roads in the surrounding area should be added to the Council’s future parking scheme programme for further investigation and more detailed consultation when resources permit.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
To allow the Cabinet Member to discuss with petitioners their concerns and if appropriate add their request to the parking schemes programme.
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED
Options were discussed with petitioners. |

Councillor Burrows listened to the concerns of the petitioners and responded to the points raised. He was mindful that any consultation undertaken would need to involve residents from other roads in the area. Further investigation would be undertaken with regard to a section of the road being made one way, the implementation of a 20mph zone and the effectiveness of the School Travel Plan. Officers were also asked to liaise with the ASBIT team.
