The following written questions have been received from members of the public:

(1) Traffic calming measures on Osmond Road, Nizells Avenue, York Avenue and Windlesham Road – Kris Phillips

Are the council going to instigate traffic calming measures on Osmond Road, Nizells Avenue, York Avenue and Windlesham Road? Speeding traffic is a daily problem, accelerating up to and through the junction. Pedestrians and cyclists are at risk. There is often aggressive behaviour by drivers who deem another driver, cyclist or pedestrian too slow. This is a main access route to day nurseries and a school and is busy all day. Fine black dust settles on worktops and window sills from vehicle exhausts. Vehicle pollution is a factor in reduced cognitive development in children and  cognitive decline in older people.
