Con­tinu­ous footways

Do you agree that traffic calm­ing meas­ures should be provided along Deshar Road?

3

Is there any­thing else we should con­sider here?

I think the speed­ing needs to be quan­ti­fied first, am not sure how high it is but I am not on the school run

Do you agree that an improved cross­ing for ped­es­tri­ans should be provided here?

Please explain your answer

The car’s park­ing here slow the traffic down any­way so it’s easy to cross as its so slow. Some park­ing is daft but usu­ally short lived. Being able to park at the shop is import­ant for some people and keep­ing a viable vil­lage shop is very import­ant for many. The corner needed slow­ing approach­ing the hotel. Kin­churdy road entrance could bene­fit from double yel­lows. If double yel­lows go on deshar road they should be on the oppos­ite side to the shop, not the same side.

Do you agree that cycle park­ing should be provided here?

Is there any­thing else we should con­sider here?

The top hotel car park is appar­ently a vil­lage car park but this is not well known. There is a huge car park on the oth­er side of the rail­way line so bet­ter access over the rail­way to it would help.

Please explain your answer

This is a tricky one, I don’t think yel­low lines are the answer, this is the only shop in the vil­lage and some shop­pers have mobil­ity issues, there is no pub­lic park­ing near at hand

What type(s) of cross­ing do you believe are most appro­pri­ate, con­sid­er­ing the users and the traffic?

• Form­al zebra crossing

Do you agree that cycle park­ing should be provided here?

Is there any­thing else we should con­sider here?

Again tricky, it’s a pavement

Do you agree that the path upgrade is required to make travel along it easi­er and more accessible?

4

What type of sur­face should be used when upgrad­ing this path?

Bound sur­face (e.g. asphalt or resin-bound)

Is there any­thing else we should con­sider here?

Should be exten­ded so that all houses feel it’s safe to walk to the vil­lage, ideally a cycle way along the main road would be ideal

Double yel­low lines out­side the Post Office, when there is no altern­at­ive car park­ing are not helpful.

Unless it will be grit­ted in the winter, the sur­face should be some­thing that doesn’t eas­ily ice over.

Please explain your answer

1) Lack of car park­ing space is the real issue here. 2) Cycle park­ing is already provided in this area of the vil­lage. 3) The pro­pos­als do not take into account the needs of dis­abled drivers or pas­sen­gers wish­ing to access the Post Office/​Shop.

a) Loc­al residents/​shoppers/​those with mobil­ity issues cur­rently park on the same side of the road as the Post Office… just where the double yel­low lines are being pro­posed. b) Sug­gest there­fore pla­cing the double yel­low lines oppos­ite the shop instead of next to it. c) place the cross­ing on the corner at the Boat Hotel. This where most of the ped­es­tri­an traffic tends to cross already. Ped­es­tri­ans have a good view of traffic from all sides here. This would also alle­vi­ate the prob­lem of cars actu­ally park­ing on the corner at The Boat Hotel. A pel­ic­an cross­ing would con­trol the flow of traffic around this dan­ger­ous corner.

Cycle park­ing is already provided in this area at The Boat Hotel. Cars will con­tin­ue to be used for some dec­ades at least to come, so pro­vi­sion still needs to be made for them. Lack of car park­ing is the real issue here. Con­sid­er­a­tion must also be giv­en to the needs of loc­al residents/​business users with mobil­ity issues not just exclus­ively the wishes of tour­ists, cyc­lists and eco-warriors.

Final thoughts

Con­sid­er­a­tion should also be giv­en to the rough sur­faces and cam­bers of exist­ing pave­ments in the vil­lage. These provide quite a chal­lenge for mobil­ity scoot­er users in some areas of the vil­lage, to the point where they feel safer rid­ing on the road!
