Yet more changes to Grove Park - ignoring consultation
As per the front page, Staveley Road closure to be permanent but Burlington Lane to be closed only during school hours.Yet the consultation was massively against the current restrictions.Clearly local democracy is irrelevant to LBH (no change there).To be clear I have no issues, and in fact support, closing both Staveley and Burlington to vehicular traffic during key school drop off and collect times (and lunch times) - there are obvious safety benefits. Whether that should be from c. 8 am- 5pm or c.8-10am then 3-5.30pm or completely from 8am-5.30pm is a difficult issue.Then there is the issue of whether if one road only should be opened to vehicular traffic, why it is Burlington rather than Staveley. I cannot remember the last time I used Burlington outside of school hours (on a bike!), but during the day it is so heavily parked up that it is extremely narrow
