Following our report in last months edition ‘on the button’ we have now
carried out a survey with the Senior Project Manager together with the
Strategic Transport Planner of Bedfordshire Highways.
This was carried out on Monday 13th October to all the roads north of the
War Memorial. It was agreed that the parking of commuter cars is creating
problems for residents and strict enforcement was needed. A survey by
Bedfordshire Highways will begin on 3rd November 2014 and all effected
residents will be asked to their preferences for parking restrictions. It has
to be pointed out however that the final decision will rest with Central
Bedfordshire Council.
During the meeting the Strategic Transport Planner also looked at the
parking on the north side of the Station. where we highlighted a number of
issues for cars, pedestrians and cyclists. The result was to look at installing
a Cycle Rack with further Disabled Car Parking and a 20 minute drop off
parking zone.
We have also requested that a new footpath be installed to enable
passengers to approach the Peterborough side platform without having to
cross the footbridge.
The outcome of the survey will be a report to Traffic Management
Committee with recommendations on suitable solutions, we will be pushing
for a quick implementation of these recommendations.
