As part of our ongoing survey around the ward we have been asking residents about problems with speeding on Tadcaster Road and seeking their views on potential measures that could be taken to reduce the problem. The results are below:
Install a Vehicle Activated Sign
Yes 81%
No 19%
Increase the number of Police checks
Yes 49%
No 51%
Install traffic calming measures
Yes 15%
No 85%
Last night the list of roads to be resurfaced by City of York Council over the next year was agreed by Liberal Democrat Executive Member for Neighbourhood Services and fellow Dringhouses and Woodthorpe Councillor, Ann Reid.
The list was boosted by an extra £1m investment in resurfacing that was agreed as part of the Liberal Democrat budget last month. The extra money was invested following the results of the public consultation which showed that the condition of roads and footpaths was the top priority for residents.
A number of roads and footpaths in Dringhouses and Woodthorpe have been included on the list, they are:
Roads
Tadcaster Road/St Helens Road junction
Eason View
Acorn Way
Footways
Deepdale
Ryecroft Avenue
Bannisdale
Bramble Dene
Troutbeck
St.Edward’s Close
Leeside
Swale Avenue
Once details of when the work will take place are available I will post them here.
