Trouble at Mill

Clearly trouble at Mill (Field Close) due to the mix of residential and business. The CBC customer service report carries a complaint: "Speeding lorries on the small close that leads to local company, are putting children at risk as they U turn over the footway to get back out of the close. I have also passed this to Amey Road Safety team to see if they can assist too.

"Access to Mill Field Close is used by a variety of delivery vans/staff/trucks etc to a local company. An incident occurred last night that could have resulted in children getting hurt, due to the  continuous amount of deliveries. Could an health and safety assessment be carried out to ensure that our children our safe, Last night 01/10 a delivery van mounted the pavement and nearly caused an accident."

Highways response so far is : "Request logged by Transportation Team, to be investigated."


I'm sorry to labour this but is this a preview of Flitt Leys Close once the construction traffic starts going up and down? We had to stand sentinel over working practices at Home Farm particularly around weekend  and bank hol working and starting in the morning. Tipper trucks moving into the Close from the High Street  at 8.30 in the morning as the school procession is getting under way doesn't bear thinking about. Not to mention the sheer congestion.
