achorste Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Some kind of walkway / pavement would be preferable under that bridge too - I run round there regularly & it's always a bit dodgy hoping that there's nothing coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If a pavement was put in under the bridge then it would have to become single lane traffic... I parked in the Robert Sorby car park here yesterday at 1900 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3515543,-1.4840859,3a,75y,51.4h,70.94t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s5n8PDQ6naiHgFVsi7j631w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 You can see some rather suspect parking in the google streetview image here though. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.351271,-1.4843817,3a,75y,275.93h,71.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sFCvrfRJgBNkAEEhEpjxk5Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surly Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 That would mean traffic lights, I think they should shut the road to thru traffic and block the bridge for cars but that would be more controversial than yellow lines. Its a shame as it has the potential to be a nice area for living in rather than a rat run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrsaljko Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If a pavement was put in under the bridge then it would have to become single lane traffic I've often thought it would be a good idea to try and put a walkway under the bridge which runs above the water, as walking under the bridge on the road is quite risky. The whole area is a nightmare though. Especially when there's something going on at Climbing Works and parents are dropping kids off for gymnastic classes all at the same time. It's a bit of a pain living around the area with people coming and going outside your house constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planner1 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I've made some enquiries and have found that the Council have actually consulted on a scheme of yellow lines for this location. It appears they have received some objections, so they now need to prepare a report and recommendations to the relevant Council Cabinet Member for a decision.

surly Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I don't envy you Vrsalijko I considered taking a unit in that yard a long time ago and decided against it. I'm afraid I just use the climbing wall but luckily the Sorby parking bays are useable at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achorste Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I went last night (I have to admit I drove) and the parking was ridiculous - illegal parking all over the roads outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achorste Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So where did you park? A few roads over & walked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveyDavey Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 p.s. a 'luton' box van was stuck under the low railway bridge recently, and the occupants were letting the tyres down when I came past. I won't mention the hire firm..... I should hope you wouldn't..... Why would it be their fault what someone has done with a van they hired from them?
