Traffic calming in Brook Street and Westbrook Terrace
The main drawback seems to be that the chicanes/road narrowing installations do not have cycling bypasses (see attached photo for a v basic example) so cyclists get forced into traffic which is dangerous, particularly for kids and children cycling to school. It would be cheaper to install WITH a cycling bypass (less cutting out and materials needed) while still allowing the same width for cars! I've emailed the council about this and cc'd it to Cllr. Tim Skinner, who's following it up with the council.
It looks like they'll make the same mistake at the Seymour/Brook Street intersection as the area that's marked out doesn't include cycling bypasses.
This is likely to be a Nelson wide problem, not just us in the Brook so please give the council a nudge - the more the merrier IMO!

Calling all those in Wheelchairs
Hi, I'm Simon .... a 44 yr old wheelchair user who wants to meet others in a similar position as myself (particularly a woman). I've been a sole parent now for almost 18 years and my son has just left the nest, so I thought it was time to start on the next stage of my life. I have cerebral palsy that effects just my legs (kinda the reason I can't walk) sooooooo if any of you are interested in getting to know me, flick me a message. I enjoy spending time with my son when he comes to visit and my pets (1 cat and 2 birds), I also enjoy building computers as well as a bit of gaming/watching TV too. So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a message.
