PACT meeting - Wednesday 5th March 2008

Around 20 local residents and owners of business from Moorland Road attended the recent Partners and Communities Together (PACT) meeting on the 5th March 2008.

These residents and local business leaders spoke about their concerns and issues in Oldfield Park.

The panel members of your local councillors, the local Police team, a representative of Somer Community Housing and an officer from the Council listen to the comments and suggestions for the priorities that should be taken up.

Cllr Shaun McGall had also emailed all Cllr Sandry's and his local residents contacts to ask them for them priorities. Over 20 residents used this opportunity to voice their priorities, which were added to those who were able to attend.

The resulting priorities were:

1) Tackling general misuse of the Shaftesbury Road Memorial Gardens;

2) Reviewing parking and driveways on the Moorfields Estate; and

3) Providing facilities, such as youth clubs for children and teenagers in the area.

The previous public priorities were:

1) Levels of car crime - criminal damage to vehicles in Monksdale Road;

2) Litter - increase road sweeping;

3) Speeding in Third Avenue, Monksdale Road and Hillside Road.

All the partners are now working on how these issues can be tackled and resolved.

Currently no date has been set for the next meeting but it will take place again at 7:00 p.m. at St Alphages Church, Oldfield LaneOldfield Park, Bath.

All members of the public are welcome to attend the next meeting.

Consultation on proposed Arlington Rd / Shaftesbury Rd junction improvements

Improvements are proposed for the T-junction of Arlington Road and Shaftesbury Road to try and reduce car accidents at this busy junction.
Following local residents contacting us, we have persuaded the Council to fund improvements at this junction to make it safer for pedestrians and all other road users.

The proposals include extending the pavement beside No. 25 Shaftesbury Road, providing additional white hatched road markings from outside No. 14 Arlington Road to the proposed extended pavement. The final part of the proposal is to re-paint and enhance the road markings. The current signs & posts will remain in their current location.

There has been at least one car accident in the last three years have caused personal injury and there have been numerous other incidents at this junction. Hopefully these proposals will help reduce the potential for future accidents.

We would welcome and appreciate any comments from residents on this proposal by Friday 24th Nov. 2006, so that these safety measures can be implemented as soon as possible.

Arlington Road / Shaftesbury Road junction

Currently, Officers of the Council are drawing up plans to improve this junction to reduce the number of accidents at this location.
