2.03: The reason we think traffic calming is not a good idea is because of District and Planning decisions to allow extra housing extensions etc and reduce road widths, which puts extra cars on the road. People do not use their garages or drive-ways. An intergrated system of speed cameras would be more effective for reducing speeds and would allow for monitering habitual parkers of blocking roads. 8.05: We were told when the 'Birdwell' estate was built that the front wall should only be for small plants. Now we have large overhanging bushes especially in parts of Fenshurst Gardens and Bradville Gardens, making walking on the pavements difficult. This also blocks the view when driving. There are also similar situations on the main road. Large commercial vehicles parked in residential streets - often on the pavement. No one seems to be interested. Maybe an evening Police patrol would be a good idea.
