This loop should be a school street and closed off. Parents are bring air pollution right to the entrance of the school. Parents also park both sides of the road meaning primary school children who by very definition are short are crossing … [more]
A lot of close passes are caused by rat run vehicles being diverted by sat navs. There is a petition to close this road which would make the A12 safer for traffic as well. www.easthorpepeace.org.uk
Mill Road is controlled by traffic lights at this junction so is effectively a one way system. So why not move the lights back up Mill Road so the pavements on either side can be widened. This would also allow pollution from idling cars … [more]
Ideal location for a School Street allowing children and parents to safely walk to school while providing safe distancing.
Remove the right turn lane into Head Street as it creates another stop phase for vehicles travelling along the Southway in an easterly direction. This causes more congestion around the Balkerne Hill roundabout. It also encourages drivers … [more]
Speeding cars from the school cause danger to pedestrians and cyclists as no traffic calming in place.
Narrow or close the road to prevent vehicles speeding round from Ireton to Honywood Road and putting children playing in the road at risk
This road is used as a rat run so would benefit from modal closure & 20 mph speed limit to encourage walking and cycling.
Bus gate to stop rat running and all roads a 20 mph zone on Highwoods except Highclere Rd and Highwoods Approach.
There's button to permit people to Agree. Why isn't there a button to disagree? Hardly democratic is it?
Block Priory Street, return it to two way traffic but no through route. Keeps access to car park, ensures safety for pedestrians and cyclists and may well solve the 'turning problem' outside First Site on East Hill on its own.
London Road is used to avoid Jn 26 of the A12, particularly by HGVs travelling to tip and pits south of Stanway. Many HGVs - WasteAway, AgriMix and Tarmac - speed or drive inappropriately for residential street, tailgating cars, buffeting … [more]

The pavement in Queen Street is much too narrow for social distancing. Cars sometimes occupy part of the pavement. Bus queue occupy part of the pavement too.
Close road to buses , too narrow for cyclists, cars and buses. Actually extremely narrow for buses. Buses can on,y currently navigate the corners by driving into oncoming traffic
Closure of Shelley Road and Burns Avenue at school drop off and collection times to allow safe passage (walking or cycling) for parents and children
Create a mini-Holland to limit the number of people using cars for short trips. Better for Philip Morant and primary school children to walk and cycle to school.

The whole area around jumbo/Mercury theatre should be at the very least pedestrian/cyclist priority if not closed to motor vehicles, cars treat it like it's a normal road when there are many people walking around the area
Make east-west traffic use Axial Way and NAR. A quieter road can be used by Gilberd and other schoolchildren to ride and walk to school in safety.
Access from the south only for the hospital. Buses allowed through. Hospital should eventually have entrance/exit off Northern Approach Road
Currently set as a bus gate, no bus service in place but used as a rat run to Northern Approach road. Needs either camera activation or modal filters

With the opening of the Stanway Western Bypass this road could be closed like Dyers Road. Enabling safe cycling and walking and cycling to shops in Blackberry Road plus Schools.
Modal filter needed to stop rat running at school pick up times and a 20mph zone to encourage walking, cycling.
This access only encourages speeding along Mumford Road which should rightfully be a 20mph zone. Filtering would also encourage more walking and cycling within the village. Lots of young families have moved into the Road so the children … [more]
There should be no access from Butt Road to Head Street it should only be for Busses, taxi and cycling.
New Church Rd is a 20mph speed limit but Traffic speeds along this rat run by the school. Closing through access will enforce the speed limit and encourage more walking and cycling within the village.
The old bridge is structurally unsafe. The new bridge is fine but there is insufficient pavement. Install traffic lights for the buses, close the bridge to all traffic except buses, taxis, and bicycles, and widen the pavement, on one side … [more]
Just pedestrianise the high street would you. All the taxis and busses make it a miserable place to be.
