More photos from residents of Wades Lane - I sent the note below to Highways and Community Police - this is a dire problem - there do not seem to be any easy answers - I can wholly understand residents deep frustration. I have heard some residents (not in that road) threaten to block the road. Ideas about best ways forward welcomed?Many thanks for your swift response - especially good re news of Puckshole reopening. However I am not happy that all is being done that could be done regarding Wades Lane area. I have received further photos this morning (taken Wednesday) of a lorry, motorhomes and an accident along the lane - plus reports from two residents who remain very concerned.
The extra slow signs are up but the dire problems persist: motorists are clearly ignoring the signage and travelling too fast and lorries also still use the route. The weight restriction on the bridge appears to be being ignored: is this dangerous? Have traffic lights been considered? A long wait might deter people? However one of the residents who has contacted me considers that traffic lights will simply make this an official rat run? Closure of the road I am sure is not possible or perhaps desirable as other communities would face traffic increases? It seems signage is being ignored but maybe a 'Long Delays' sign could reduce impatience?
Residents do appreciate that this is a nightmare for everybody including the Highways Dept . The road is 60 mph and the quantity of impatient traffic makes this a very dangerous stretch of road. Is there any way of putting in an emergency 20 mph in view of the situation? Please could you also request more police for the busy periods in morning and evening? I hope it will be possible to at least alleviate a little some of the problems here.
