Loveridge Avenue responses analysed

John Fareham and John Abbott report that the responses to the questionnaire on the Loveridge Avenue traffic survey have now been analysed showing strong support for the Home Zone proposal.

47 forms from 39 households showed that all 39 households responding are in favour of the scheme and 31 households are prepared to pay for dropped kerbs.  Those are the headline figures, but seven forms raised points of detail such as how far along the double yellow lines should go and what should be done about the trees. We certainly take the view that if new trees are to be planted they should be so placed as to fit in with the new dropped kerbs. We will be meeting with the officers in the near future to discuss these; formal consultation packs, as required by the legal procedure, will have been circulated to every household early in July so as not to clash with the school holidays.
