Reducing traffic speeds on Church Road

A draft two-phased scheme designed to keep traffic to a reasonable speed on Church Road has been drawn up by South Glos highways officers. Church Road residents should have been sent a copy in the summer.

Phase 1 would introduce:

• dropped kerbs, tactile paving and keep clear markings at the Church Close and Ryecroft Road junctions
• a crossing point to Frampton End Road near the shops created by build outs narrowing the road to 6.2m with a coloured surface
• a similar crossing point beside the school playing field and a pavement to the new Jubilee Allotments.

Phase 2 would introduce:

• speed tables near the Conifer Close and School Road junctions.

At the Frome Vale Area Forum on 5th March, South Glos Councillors will be deciding which traffic schemes will be given priority for funding from our allocation of £100,000. Frampton Cotterell ward councillors Pat and Dave Hockey would like to hear people's views ahead of the Area Fourm. They have therefore arranged to have the plans on display at a drop-in session at the Brockeridge Centre on 4th February from 5pm until 7pm.
