Having got the developers to block off the cut-through further up the road in Manu Marble Way, it’s disappointing to hear from residents that drivers are accessing the Bristol Road side of the Earls Park development from another cut-through further down Manu Marble Way, towards Neven Place end.

There is a dropped kerb (circled red) to allow access to the five properties nearest to it, but with the area circled black blocked off, to prevent it being used as a cut-through to the other side.

What we could do with is blocking off the area circled with a bollard or barrier. I have suggested this to management, and also a very sensible resident suggestion to reduce the chance of this happening in future: putting up a sign at the entrance to Manu Marble Way saying ‘cul de sac’ or ‘no cut-through’ or similar.

Lots of traffic goes down that way thinking that they can access the Bristol Road side of the development, but they can’t (or shouldn’t). I will feedback to residents when I hear more.
