I am writing to formally request the implementation of traffic-calming measures along the full length of our street. In recent weeks, we have experienced a substantial increase in through-traffic as a result of the ongoing road works in the surrounding area. A number of vehicles are travelling at speeds exceeding 40 mph, which presents a serious safety concern for all residents. The street is predominantly occupied by elderly individuals, families with young children, and parents with prams. Given the volume and speed of the traffic, the risk of a collision—either involving a pedestrian or resulting in damage to property—is, in my view, unacceptably high. I respectfully urge the council to assess the situation as a matter of priority and to consider the installation of appropriate traffic-calming measures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the community.
