Henfield Road proposals

Earlier this year the Frome Vale Area Forum agreed that one of this year’s highway investigation schemes should look at the problem of speeding traffic on Henfield Road within the Quiet Lanes Scheme. Recently representatives of Westerleigh Parish Council and ward councillor Claire Young met highways officers to review their findings.

Officers have made two proposals. The first is for some “signing and lining” measures (plans available here) which can be implemented this financial year from existing budgets.

If you have any comments please contact Claire or the Parish Clerk, Fiona Thornton, before Monday 10^th November. Alternatively, you can attend the Parish Council meeting that evening, at 7.15pm in the Manor Hall, Coalpit Heath, where the councillors will be agreeing their response to South Glos. Note that the SLOW markings could be closer to the bend but not further away.

The second proposal is for a gateway treatment, high friction surface and a cycle lane along part of Henfield Road. This proposal has been added to the Local Transport Priority List and will be considered for funding along with all the other schemes for the area at the Frome Vale Area Forum meeting at 7pm on Thursday 5^th March in Shireway Community Centre (venue subject to change). Residents would be very welcome to attend to explain why they think this scheme should be funded, as a number of local people did earlier this year when the investigation scheme was chosen.

Edited 1st November 2014 - We've had a complaint that the plans aren't viewable in some browsers so have uploaded the signing and lining proposals and the more comprehensive scheme to an alternative cloud storage service. If you are still having problems, please email Claire and she will email them to you.
