Traffic Calming Measures on Chiltern View Road

We the undersigned petition Hillingdon Council to We, the undersigned residents and concerned citizens, are writing to petition for the installation of traffic calming measures, specifically speed bumps, along Chiltern View Road. The increasing traffic volume and speed have become a significant safety concern for our community, necessitating immediate action. Since the installation of traffic calming measures on the Greenway some years ago, there has been a notable diversion of traffic to Chiltern View Road. This road has unfortunately become a raceway for vehicles, particularly from the traffic lights on Cowley Road. It is common to witness individual cars and motorbikes, and often a collection of motorbikes, speeding excessively and seemingly doing circuits around the area.

The consequences of this increased traffic and high speeds are alarming:

1. Safety Risks: The high speeds at which vehicles travel pose a severe risk to pedestrians, including children and elderly residents. The potential for accidents and injuries is high.
2. Noise Pollution: The noise generated by racing vehicles, especially motorbikes, disrupts the peace and tranquillity of our neighbourhood, affecting the quality of life.
3. Environmental Impact: The increased traffic contributes to higher emissions and environmental degradation in our area.

To address these pressing issues, we propose the following measures:

• Installation of speed bumps at strategic locations along Chiltern View Road.
• Enhanced signage to alert drivers of the speed bumps and the enforced speed limits.
• Increased monitoring and enforcement of traffic regulations by local authorities.

These measures will help to:

• Reduce vehicle speeds, making Chiltern View Road safer for pedestrians and residents.
• Discourage the use of our road as a racetrack.
• Restore the quiet and peaceful environment of our neighbourhood.

We believe that implementing these traffic calming measures is crucial for the safety and well-being of our community. We urge you to consider our petition seriously and take swift action to address this issue.ter more details and reasoning in support of your ePetition.

On reaching 20 signatures it will be formally considered by the Council and relevant Cabinet Member. Local ward Councillors will also be made aware of the petition. The Council's Democratic Services Team will keep the lead petitioner updated on progress.

This ePetition runs from 13/06/2024 to 14/07/2024.
