B J Village Centre Anti Congestion Scheme
The following is a propposal which could have a positive effect on the traffic/parking congestions of B J village centre - occurring all too frequently !!
The SCHEME entails introducing ..
1) “Restricted Parking” along Main Street ( west ) - from Lambley Lane thro the village centre to Main Street (east ) -Wheatsheaf Pub Rear Car Park entrance.
2) Chestnut Grove - to be re-designated as “One Way” only ( out towards the Bye-Pass ) - Church Road.. Vehicle road sensors at the junction to activate new lights in Chestnut Grove at the Church Rd junction, together with synchronising the sequencing of the Traffic Lights on the Bye-Pass ( presently actuated only by pedestrians wanting to cross this road )
3) Meadow Lane - to be designated “One Way “ only ( into the village centre)
4) Padleys Lane - Parking restrictions well beyond the school entrance
5) Willow Wong - Parking restrictions well beyond the school entrance.
a)The “No Parking Restriction”, enforced between 8.00am and 4.00pm Monday to Friday, except for Permit Holding Residents ( Free to those who actually live within these areas) and Blue Badge Holders
b) If adopted the above scheme - the result will result in a significant ease to the daily congestion within the designated areas, producing a much safer environment for all pedestrians ( the “seniors” and “mums with toddlers” in particularly).
c) The scheme will also assist those wanting to exit the village “more safely” by introducing some control of their accessing the Bye-Pass.
d)The scheme will also introduce some calming and breaks into the heavy continual traffic flow, along the Bye-Pass by introducing an increase in the number of Traffic light actuations (presently only achieved by pedestrians crossing the Bye-Pass traffic flow )
e)The only individuals actually “inconvenienced” by the introduction of the scheme, will be to those who constantly use their cars for the “School Run” and park indiscriminately, -without a thought for the possible consequences ,within the village centre.. Surely the introduction of the suggestion, will persuade them to think twice about using their cars for the short inner village journey. Even if the scheme does not deter them and they consider driving still preferable to walking, they can choose the alternative parking possibility of using the Cross Keys/ Wheat Sheaf / Co-op Parks - as can those who will have longer journeys .
This scheme can be a WIN/WIN situation for the village .. Dont you agree?
