We have been successful in a bid to Transport for London (TfL) to fund accessibility improvements across the Borough. To improve pedestrian safety and accessibility in the Western Road area it is proposed to introduce raised tables on the entrance to Lowry Crescent, Heyford Road, Lewis Road and Dorset Road as shown on the plan below. Further to this double yellow lines will be installed 10m either side of the named junctions; this will improve visibility for vehicles entering Western Road and provide a safer environment for pedestrians when crossing at the junction.
What happens next
A notice of our intention to introduce the entry treatments and the double yellow lines will be published in the local newspaper and posted on lamp columns in the vicinity. Any comments must be put in writing by no later than 24 December 2015, quoting reference Western Road Safety Improvements, addressed to:
