Newland Avenue road closure

John Fareham and John Abbott report that Newland Avenue is to be closed to all traffic – including of course that from Goddard Avenue – so that major resurfacing works can be carried out.
 
The Council has made an order prohibiting all traffic from entering Newland Avenue from 11th September onwards so that resurfacing works can be carried out in safety. Access will be maintained for emergency services and the order will remain in place for eighteen months or until the work is completed, whichever is the sooner.  The work is actually expected to take place between September 11th and November 3rd. What this of course means for all residents of Goddard Avenue is that there will only be one way to drive in and out, namely onto Chanterlands Avenue North, for the duration of the works. We will of course be interested in local residents’ opinions of the impact of this as it may shed some light on policy options for Goddard Avenue traffic in the future.
