Meeting with RBWM about Traffic Calming in Holyport

17/6/2014

As many of you will know, especially those who responded to it, a petition was raised last year and submitted via Bray Parish Council to RBWM. It was submitted to BPC on 25th July 2013. Later it was supported by BPC and submitted to RBWM by Cllr David Coppinger.

The text and comments of those who signed are shown on this website under Topic - Speeding on Holyport Road and can also be accessed here:

The following was the introduction on the online petition;

Petition Background (Preamble): We at the HRA believe that the speed and volume of traffic on Holyport Road has reached a level which makes it very dangerous to other drivers as well as to pedestrians and we are calling on the appropriate authorities (Highway Dept, Parish Council and Thames Valley police) to study the situation together with representatives of the HRA and come up with a solution that will benefit the residents of Holyport.

Petition: We the undersigned wish to complain most strongly about the constant abuse of the speed limit on the Holyport Road and the fact that the measures in place do nothing to curb the speed or reduce the amount of traffic.

We call on the appropriate authorities to meet with representatives of the HRA and discuss ways of improving the situation.

NOW - as of a few days ago RBWM proposes to meet with me to discuss this.

This will be advised to members and friends of HRA by email, and comments are invited.

A further petition was created by others regarding Ascot Road traffic. Comments are invited regarding progress on that one.

As a resident of holyport for at least 35 years (14 in the Ascot road and 21 in Springfield park ) if fell I am able to comment on the traffic in holyport . Not only is the speed of the traffic in the holyport road to high the speed of traffic in the ascot road is even higher particularly the large lorries that use the road continuously . In addition to the speed of these lorries many of them mount the pavement when two lorries pass . To my knowledge there is very rarely any checks carried out by the police or the rbwm with respect to this and we are talking about putting more houses in the area because . If this is likely to happen in the future then something must be done with the traffic FIRST.

Thanks Alan for your comment. I agree with all you say. I hope that the Local Plan will conclude that no new houses will be built in Area 7A or 5C, nor a hospital in 5C. Meantime the HRA is in discussion with RBWM re what can be offered if anything, by way of traffic calming, in response to last years HRA petition asking for a residents consultation about traffic calming on all of the Holyport area's through roads.

Andrew Cormie is concerned about the possibility of adverse change occurring in the Holyport Area. He is particularly concerned about the steady increase in traffic in this area, and the consequences of this - (noise, pollution, delays).
He is concerned about the imposition on local residents of developments that will cause increases in traffic.
He sees the HRA as a possible means to garner local opinion for all mattters that give concern to local residents.
