Traffic Management Order - TMO869 - Received 14/03/07
The Council wish to put in a new parking bay 15 m long on Sisters Avenue just to the north of the juction with Thirsk Road (outside Nos. 51 & 53).
It looks to me as if this parking bay would narrow Sisters Road at a bend very near a junction. I guess that a parking bay was probably not put there before because it was considered dangerous.
I think we should object to this on the grounds of danger to cyclists using Sisters Road.
Any comments??
Deadline for responses 2 April (I will respond on behalf of WCC next week)

As you say, the Council's proposal sounds potentially very hazardous for cyclists (and also pedestrians). I think we should strongly oppose it.

I live at 53 sisters avenue and I hate the council with a passion. i have asked for parking tickets from the local office on Lavender Hill on several occasions to a rude and unhelpful receptionist. Apparently the only way to get a parking ticket is to be unemployed or on benefits.
ReplyDeleteHench I oppose anything the council want to do on principle!
WCC resnt a response to Wandsworth Council on 17 April 2007.
ReplyDeleteWe objected to the proposal, saying:
"Wandsworth Cycling Campaign object to this proposal on the grounds that the parking bay will narrow the carriageway at a bend so creating a road narrowing with a potential hazard to cyclists. One of our members who is a frontager to the proposed parking bay contacted us and also objected to the proposal."
Wandsworth Council acknowledged our objection on 18 April 2007 and promised a reply to our objection within 10 working days (2nd May).
