"Central santuary" on Church Road
ROAD FEAR?
The elderly, infirmed, and mothers with toddlers, must constantly feel at risk, most uncomfortable and vulnerable whilst walking along or crossing the Bye-Pass … (Church Road) on foot.
-
Even the mini "sanctuary islands", installed on Church Road , complete with bollards and tall “lolly pop” standards do not give any reassurance to pedestrians, particularly when we see the number of bollards repeatedly knocked over by the traffic and damaged beyond repair.

What is the MAIN FEAR - well in my mind, it has to be the huge multi wheeled Trucks , large articulated produce Delivery Vans, new / used car Transporters, “Chelsea-Tractors” and “Boy Racers” in high performance cars, which constantly motor along the road at just below or above the 30mph limit.

What is the PROBLEM - It is the number and size of huge vehicles passing thro the village, creating a frightening, most daunting SUCTION on all local pedestrians, particularly between the traffic lights at Chestnut Grove and Meadow Lane.

Any unfortunate individual caught waiting to cross the road, or at the worst trapped, on the "island sanctuary" midway across Church Road (at the Meadow Lane/Trent Lane junction) - whilst vehicles simultaneously pass by in both directions have to take what ever measures are available to them . I have seen elderly pedestrians stranded on the "island sanctuary" gripping the tall “lolly- pop” standard, for security, as if their life depended upon it -
