Support our opposition to the road changers that threaten to make our community more dangerous and unhealthy for everyone living in it.
This is the online Petition which opposes the proposed changers to Cranford street and the surrounding areas, specifically the changes to Berwick and Warrington street and demand other options are explored.
The reason for the opposition to changes to our community roads is due to a number of reasons.
You just have to look at the proposed route to see it causes more problems than it solves.
We are not against change and progress, but for this project to be rehashed a number of times in various different forms and then seemingly tried to be snuck in through the back door in the form of a pamphlet which a lot of residents didn’t receive or threw away as it only stated in its title Cranford Street, is quite disingenuous.
Its uncertain just how many cars will be diverted through our streets but the numbers are quite frightening, a 2015 estimate of traffic volume decrease on both Main North Rd and Marshlands Rd add up to 26,000 which is the number that may be heading down/up the Cranford St on/off ramp every day.
If only a third of those cars made their way down Warrington and Berwick Streets we are talking about a car every second for 3 hours solid on top of the existing traffic.
The council have told us to expect an increase in traffic of over 30% with a further increase in the future.
What does this really mean for us?
We feel our community is being compromised,
Please sign the online petition and support our community.
