A resident of Newark Road emailed me regarding the new traffic calming scheme on Tuffley Avenue.
They pointed out that the new raised island is backing up cars along Tuffley Avenue and making it much slower for residents to get out of Newark Road.
They requested a no waiting box, or a keep clear marking.
I contacted the local Highways manager and he is soon going to carry out a site visit to observe the new traffic calming.
He thought a yellow box wouldn’t be possible but a keep clear marking might be.
Residents should feel free to get in touch with me about the scheme.
Although a county council scheme, I have had lots of contact about it as the local city councillor.
I’d say it’s more traffic building than calming and the lights seems to be taking forever to change. Nightmare now, so most avoid it and go down Seymour road which was a nightmare to begin with but now made worse! Another brilliant idea by the council by people who probably never use the road themselves!
It’s certainly causing some issues. Do send any comments to me at Sebastian.Field@Gloucester.gov.uk and I can pass on to the local Highways manager.
