183776 Very narrow path connects both villages to the village shop the hedge is often too overgrown and it’s a busy dangerous road. If it was wide enough for a twin pushchair we would be able to walk to the shop and also better for mobility scooters and disabilities etc Popular route for runners and cyclists also.- 183775 Unsafe for walkers when the road is busy. Inter visibility is very poor. Anxious drivers do not notice pedestrians
- 183774 20mph speed limits to enable active travel of all types.
- 183773 Popular tourist attraction needs a pedestrian crossing and a 20 mph speed limit.
- 183761 Motorists and cyclists can enter from five directions. This busy crossing could be made safer with clear markings indicating where pedestrians and cyclists should cross.
Pedestrians, often with children, come to and from the popular Bede Park. There are also electric scooters, roller-skaters, skateboarders, and delivery cyclists. On the pavement outside the Western Pub there are stands for the electric hire bikes.
Motorists are sometimes tempted to speed up or down the Wilberforce Road hill.
It would be great to have measures to slow motorists down for this junction.
