| Petition Overview: |
Take steps to make Ware Road (around the Liberty Rise Estate) and surrounding streets IMMEDIATELY safe for cars, buses and pedestrians. There is now increased parking on both sides of Ware Road by the Liberty Rise Estate has escalated in the last 6 months, meaning that it is no longer possible for traffic, especially buses and lorries, to pass freely along the road. Plus increased numbers of cars are now parking on Foxholes Avenue, Woodlands Mount and Rowleys Road. In the last week there have been 3 major accidents which have demanded a police presence. Local residents are calling on the local authority to provide parking solutions along the Ware Road and surrounding streets to make the area safe, be they residents parking permits or yellow lines. We also call upon the council to learn from this issue when granting planning permission, making sure there is adequate parking provision for new homes and not endangering others. |
