Essex County Council has agreed to a range of traffic calming measures in the vicinity of Heathlands School. The suggestions were previously referenced in a local news update just 2 weeks ago and it is great news that ECC have agreed to the following:
|
Flat Top table at each end, including lighting; Build out at Mumford Close including footpath link, lighting and signing; Parking restrictions at junctions New Church Road/lexden Road/school lane and chapel road; school keep clear markings, school warning sign and SLOW marking | |
|
Flat Top Table from junction with Colchester Road; Parking restrictions at junction school Lane and Colchester Road; school warning signs and SLOW markings on carriageway. | |
|
School warning signs and Slow Markings | |
|
School warning signs and Slow Markings |
The Council has noted that there may be some concerns about these schemes and have said:
Lighting may be an issue with Local Residents as New Church Road is currently unlit. Power supply required – overhead supply required. Noise/vibration from vehicles travelling over humps may concern residents. School should consult with local residents before works begin.
