Park Close survey

Park Close survey

At the June meeting of Tarvin Parish Council, Councillors considered the responses to their request for comments regarding a suggestion that the Close be made one way or even closed to motor traffic. The consultation arose as a result of parishioner concern regarding access, particularly to and from Bye Pass Road.

As has been previously reported on Tarvinonline 41 responses were received prior to the meeting, ranging from 'no change', 'make the Close one way', 'hedges need cutting back otherwise fine', to supporting a closure, at least for HGV traffic.

In particular, a number of responses referred to the Close being much the safest way of exiting the village when turning right towards Kelsall.

After discussion, the Council agreed that access to the Close should remain unchanged but that the owner of the hedge which run alongside the Close should be encouraged to maintain it so as to prevent encroachment onto the roadway.

Thank you to all who responded, it was appreciated.
