Hi, I live on Welsh row and there are a lot of elderly people as well as general walkers who have to walk on the road as there is no footpath or streetlights. This has increasingly become an issue as more motorist, lorries and cyclist are using this road as a cut through and it has become a rat run for them There have been a number of near misses as the lane is quite bendy and has a number of blind spots . Cars are often doing speeds of 40 mph+ and it has become very dangerous especially for the elderly who live here in the sheltered housing on welsh row. This week a huge lorry cutting through took down a large park of and established oak tree opposite my house. This caused a huge tail back as he was trapped by the tree and had to get help to saw down the tree to release his cabin from the trailer section of his lorry This was because of the speed he was doing and his inability to stop Can we put speed signs on this road or elderly people walking or residential area signs to encourage the road users to slow down and take more care before there is a fatality as opposed the numerous near misses. thanks

We deal with defects based on the level of immediate risk. We have assessed the issue and it does not present an immediate risk to highway users at this time. As the problem you have reported is not causing an immediate safety issue we will now look at the best long- term approach for this location. We keep all roads and highway assets safe through our routine inspections. If anything is identified as a risk during a future inspection, we will take action to deal with it as appropriate.
State changed to: No further action
