In recent years, traffic along North Hyde Road has significantly increased, and as a result, Crane Gardens has been excessively used as a cut-through by drivers seeking to avoid congestion. This increased traffic has led to many vehicles speeding through our narrow road, putting residents and their property at risk.
There have been numerous incidents where resident vehicles have been damaged by passing cars, often due to drivers misjudging the width of the road. These incidents typically go unreported, leaving residents to bear the costs of the damage. Moreover, the high speed of some drivers greatly increases the likelihood of more serious accidents, including potential harm to pedestrians, children, and cyclists who regularly use the street.
We strongly believe that installing speed humps in Crane Gardens will:
Act as an effective measure to reduce vehicle speeds.
Discourage non-local drivers from using our street as a
shortcut.
Reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury.
Create a safer and more pleasant environment for all
residents.
The growing problem of speeding and increased traffic in our area
is a pressing safety concern. Therefore, we urgently request that
Hillingdon Council consider the installation of speed humps in
Crane Gardens to protect our community.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. We look forward to your prompt and positive response.
