Traffic reduction The Dales Leigh
From "Next Steps"
Go to the project
Many cars use Ennerdale Road as a rat run to avoid the Island at Green Lane and access Holden Road. (red line on map)
There is a playing field behind part of Ennerdale Road and it is a family area, as is Edale Road and Patterdale. Part of this is intended to be part of St Thomas school
There is also a problem with no traffic markers at the junction of Ennerdale and Hawkhurst so no one is sure who has right of way.
Proposal.1 Road markings to show right of way at the junction of Ennerdale and Hawkhurst to prevent an accident. (black dot on map)
Proposal 2 Traffic calming measures on all three Dales roads, to ensure traffic sticks to the 20mph. (green dot on map)
Proposal 3 Making Ennerdale a one way street or accessible only to residents, emergency services, visitors and blue badge holders.
Proposal 4 Restrict access (black line) to emergency vehicles and bin trucks at the edge of the field.
Proposal 5 Also a zebra crossing to be reinstated at the junction of Hawkhurst st and Holden Road where the crossing patrol operates during school hours. It is almost impossible to cross Holden road at this location due to traffic, especially for elderly and disabled persons.
Proposal 6 Develop the backs behind the streets that are currently not gated, tarmac and gate them for security as we get a good number of burglaries in this area.
