Safer Streets in Twerton and Whiteway

Councillors Sarah Moore and Tim Ball have requested Traffic Calming feasibility studies are carried out on Newton Road, Poolemead Road and Kelston View.  This is following concerns raised by residents on the speed of vehicles in these areas. 

 

Newton Road is already a speedwatch location and we are looking at restarting this campaign in the spring, please do get in touch if you would like to get involved.

Councillors have met with Highways Officers to discuss the deteriorating road conditions on Haycombe Drive and requested funding is found urgently. They also expressed concerns on the use of double decker buses on our narrow residential roads, as well as the damaged footpaths.

We have also again requested the resurfacing of Highland Road, Windrush Close and Dominion Road is included in the Highways programme of works as the condition of these roads is worsening and need attention.

If you have a highways issue on your road, please do get in touch
