After residents raised with me the new unofficial cut-through from Manu Marble Way to the Bristol Road side of Earls Park, I contacted site management who have today erected this temporary barrier.

Long-term we will need access for the houses nearest to this barrier (marked red), but with the middle blocked off (marked black).

Residents have also suggested signs saying ‘no through access’, and reminding drivers of the 20mph speed limit on the estate. This is especially important with the imminent (I hope!) opening of the play areas.

My thanks to Matthew Homes for their quick action on this. Please let me know any other issues in Earls Park or Podsmead.
