I'm getting incredibly confused with what is happening with all of this... There's a petition for a barrier? There's a petition for no barrier? There is or isn't significant official information available to back up any claims that something does or does not need to be done? Not everyone is being consulted? Or, at least, not everyone any traffic calming method would effect is in the know. Random (by random I mean unofficial out of the blue) visits from neighbours presenting various letters contradicting each other on "proposals", some without actually even knowing the history of the area (for example, yes the road has been blocked in the past for essential repairs for a significant amount of time - which may or may not be helpful in gauging potential issues ANY kind of traffic calming might create), some claiming to know too much but are recently new to the area... The impending arrivals of new schools, M&S etc are or are not being taken into consideration? Local councillors are for AND against (and back track regularly on comments they make)? How does this effect support for residents? Where have these ideas generated from? Seems to me there's a lot of movement happening in both directions instigated small groups and everything is getting in a muddle!
