I am sorry Guy, but I have to disagree why should we have to drive all the way down South Ealing Road, waiting for possibly/probably several changes of traffic lights then along the A4 Great West Road and then back up Clayponds Avenue to our homes? Why not just make Chestnut Avenue access only (including the rest of the Estate and not restrict the turning and if that is difficult to 'police' then that is the Council's problem not the Residents.) Why weren't all these things considered before the 'experiment' was agreed - rather than making changes on the hoof? I suspect very few, if any, of the people from 'on high' who made this decision have ever been along Occupation Lane. Yet again Hounslow Council prove themselves to be totally anti car drivers and anti residents who have to use their cars for various reasons. You should be able to be pro-cycling and walking, without being so anti-car. Please look at my suggestion of 'opening up Clayponds Gardens for Pedestrians and Cyclists and leave Occupation Lane for the motor vehicles. And BTW I have been counting the traffic in Clayponds avenue for the last 10 minutes (+/-3.00pm) and there have been only a few cars a minute - which mainly seem to be accessing the estate and 1 ambulance. Indeed what about Emergency vehicle access!! If an Ambulance or Fire Engine needs to access the Estate from South Ealing Road above Occupation Lane, the detour round the A4 could add several minutes - of precious life saving time. Please let us reconsider and/or monitor this decision very closely. |
