The Residents Association committee will be meeting to discuss traffic issues, with representatives from Swale Borough Council, Kent County Council and local M.P. Derek Wyatt on 24/06/05, to push for action on the following issues (and more - see full agenda):

Roundabout at the development entrance
The offset roundabout encourages some drivers to negotiate the roundabout anti clockwise, on entry. This illegal act leaves drivers exiting the development, struggling to avoid oncoming traffic in the middle of the road.

Entry pinch point
We are concerned that the pinch point promotes inappropriate speed, due to the raised block paving creating a level surface for the road and footpath, this is also used for parking or as a passing point, utilising the footpath without restriction.

Emergency Access
Due to the single entrance and exit for vehicles to the development, an emergency access route is in place between Brier Road and Maylam Gardens. Since the development was occupied, vehicles have been parking across the access to this area at both ends.

Open space footpaths
Currently the footpaths in this area, are increasingly in a poor state of repair. Large sections have sunk and subsequent repairs to paved areas have exacerbated the problem.

Thank you to all residents who have helped bring these issues to our attention.
