Fairfax Avenue highway issues

John Fareham and John Abbott are working on a range of problems to do with traffic and parking on Fairfax Avenue. The list is considerable, but we are making progress on all of them and we thought a summary of what’s been reported to us and what we’re doing about it would be of interest. The problems we are, or have been, dealing with include:- • Drivers getting onto the grass verge at the top near the shops – a new bollard has been inserted and more protection will follow • Parked cars blocking the view as vehicles turn onto and off Fairfield Road – we have asked traffic officers to find a solution • Area in the grass verge, again at the top, where rainwater is accumulating – officers have undertaken to look into this and see what the cause is • Broken bollard in front of the shops – a delivery vehicle ran into this on the 10th and officers we have asked to get it repaired or replaced are looking into the costs • Damage to the grass verge across from the shops by cyclists and others - officers have agreed to look into means of letting them follow the desire-line rather than just relaying the turf all the time.
