Bricknell Avenue road markings

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured undertakings that the reinstated road markings on Bricknell Avenue will be checked for accuracy in the interests of public safety. We have received complaints from local residents to the effect that, as repainted after the recent road and resurfacing works, these markings now removed the boundary between car parking spaces and the cycle lane, rendering cyclists vulnerable to accidents should they happen to be passing a car when someone opened its door. John and I have therefore asked the officers to check whether this is indeed the case and we have received an undertaking that an officer of the Council will be out to check that the markings are as they should be. The officers have worked out what needs to be done in order to put them straight and in some places have changed the position of the lines.
