I have been pleased to see at long last there have been some movement to carry on securing the pavements near the HSB Bank ATM on Kettlehouse Road.
Working with Local Community Groups I have been pushing for additional pedestion railings to be put up near the where the Zebra Crossing is and now a long last this has been done.
Previously bike stands, a bench and litter bins have been placed on this stretch of pavement to help prevent drivers bouncing over the curbs to get as close to the bank as possible.
Residents may recall the battle we all had ( petitions and so on) to get the Mecca Bingo Hall to kindly allow driver to park free of charge in there car park just yards away from the Bank.
Residents and my self also petitioned, held site visits and wrote letters to the Transportation Department to get the Zebra crossing installed near by to enable people to cross the road from the car park and to help slow the traffic down.
But still drivers inset on getting as close to the bank and other shops as possible regardless of the safety of pedestrians.
The next stage is the establishing of a disabled bay and a single taxi bay near the front of the bank which we are told should further help stop cars going on the pavement. Once again thanks to all those who are keeping up the battle for safer pavements in the area and I will continue to do so also.
