Stopping drivers from mounting the pavement on Crescent Road

Many people have contacted us about drivers mounting the pavement on Crescent Road and putting people in danger. Some people have even been clipped by cars! Your Green Party councillors agree that this is totally unacceptable and have been working with residents, schools and the police on this issue.

Following our request the council will be painting some stretches of single yellow line along Crescent Road – on the section opposite to the schools. These will act as passing places for the traffic. There will also be signs on the pavement which will act as bollard's deterring drivers from mounting the pavement.

These measures have already been consulted on and we have been lobbying for them to be installed as soon as possible. The council says that this will happen in the next few months.

We know that more action is necessary to truly address this problem along the whole of Crescent Road and we will keep working with you to tackle this road safety concern.
