A few weeks ago I published an article on this site updating on a request by residents at Park Avenue in Blackhall Colliery to restrict access to vehicular traffic along the alleyway between both sides of the street (please see post dated Thursday 29 April 2021 for background details: https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2021/04/access-to-park-avenue-to-be-restricted.html)
I have now received an additional update on progress from highways engineers:
To update you regarding the resident(s) from Park Avenue illegally using the footpath to access his property with vehicles – we have issued a warning letter requesting that they stop access now and that we are arranging for the Traffic team to erect a bollard at both ends of Park Avenue to prevent any vehicle accessing the footpath. The only authorised vehicles permitted access are those to maintain the highway.
We have undertaken consultation with the relevant emergency services who have confirmed they do not need access and they support the bollard option.
Hopefully this solves the problem once and for all.
Once I have a date for the installation of the bollards I will be back in touch to confirm.
