| Mrs Deborah Burns I have already Held my hand up to say I do not live on the estate, but visit very regularly to a disabled relative, who suffers with a breathing condition that was really eased during lock down. But now more traffic is starting to use it they are starting to feel the effects of the rat running vehicles from occupational Lane to the A4 to avoid the Ealing roundabout. I understand your point of view, that if any change to the scheme will increase the length of time it will take for a resident to gain access to the estate. I have a traffic scheme that will be implemented where I live in Chiswick, Which instead of me being able to use or local roads. Going home from Brentford I will have to use the A4 down to Hogarth roundabout turn onto the A316 Great Chertsey Road to get to Dukes Meadows, which at the best of times is solid with traffic. My normal route is very quick, but is also used as a rat run so if I still use it and enter passed a CCTV camera at one end then go through the CCTV camera at the other end I will be taken as a rat running vehicle, so end up with a fine As you no doubt know this has been brought in by the Government, for the local authority to use an emergency traffic order to implement some schemes that make it safer for Pedestrians and cyclist to use the road and restrict car use. I think the object of the order is to implement the schemes first and consult during the temporary six months. If the measures are unworkable they will either be taken away or amended. Having said all that It docent mean I agree will everything the Council is going to do. Although I don't like it, I can see the what the emergency order is all about, if you had any consultation before the measures went in, it would probably take until next year before anything is done, as there are so many views from local residents to consider. The Residents on the estate will have to get together and work out what works best for you, as I find the rat run can hold me up for some considerable time when entering from the A4 while trying to visit my relative. |
