Highway action
Following my recent meeting with the Local Highways Manager he has agreed to take the following action: -
*will investigate the provision of another ‘unsuitable for heavy vehicles’ sign, this time at the Cripps Lane end of Jarvis Lane. Hopefully this will considerably reduce the damage to parked cars and the traffic congestion caused by of such vehicles using this very narrow Lane.
*will pursue the provision of ‘gateways’ at either end of Small Dole and in Bramlands Lane in Woodmancote. The Small Dole ‘gateways’ are included in the Highway Works programme for 2008/09 to be funded by planning contributions fron developers. The Bramlands Lane ‘gateways’ were agreed when it was decided not to continue with an official 30 mph limit.
*chase the removal of the trees growing in the ditch at the Canons Way junction with the A283 Steyning Bypass. The trees considerably reduce the visibility for traffic wishing to turn right from Canons Way of fast approaching traffic along the A283 from the west.
*arrange for permanent traffic signing for the new Health Centre in Newmans Gardens, Steyning, in time for it’s opening in late August/early September.
*chase work on footway defects in Shooting Field and potholes at junction of Tanyard Lane and Beach Close (both in Steyning) I had previously reported to him.
*arrange for traffic/speed counting in Blackstone Lane , Woodmancote, to obtain data on which to base proposals to improve the traffic situation along the Lane.
*take action to require the restoration of the grass verges along the Steyning Bypass damaged by contractors vehicles attending to utility work. (The obstruction caused by one of these vehicles parking on the Castle Lane bypass foot/cycleway are being addressed by the Police.)
