Both Herbert Road and Cotswold Road could benefit from new traffic calming measures drawn up by the Council. These are not yet agreed and are subject to public consultation, so please let us know what you think.
1. Herbert Road
The proposal is to install a raised table on Herbert Road at it’s Junction with Moorland Road between Herbies and Nat West bank. This is intended to slow traffic on the approach to Moorland Road.

2. Cotswold Road
The unfunded proposal is to install a build out to make Cotswold Road single track at its junction with Willow Green and Hillside Road to make it easier for pedestrians to cross. This will slow traffic and make it easier for parents and their children to cross between St John’s School and Moorlands School.

re. the Herbert Road junction
Surely the raised table will do virtually nothing to reduce the risk to pedestrians on the new crossing?
Wouldn’t it be more effective to have the table across the entire width and breadth of the junction, reducing vehicle speeds in all directions, and helping to protect both crossings?
