The top part of Reginald Mitchell Way will not be made into a 30MPH zone [update]

Oh! Looks like we've been fed yet more bull.

I've had a reply from a Freedom of Information request reply that I've recently made in relation to information we'd been given to further safety measures for Reginald Mitchell Way.

The two items, 30 MPH reduction of the speed limit and a crossing on the lower part of Reginald Mitchell Way.

Your request for information on Reginald Mitchell Way

We have now considered your request for information and a copy of the
information is below.

1. With the new fire station crossing been put in place, will the speed limit of Reginald Mitchell Way from the John Rhodes/Marlborough Way (FOCUS) roundabout up to the High Street (KFC) roundabout, be lowered to 30MPH because of the new fire station crossing lights?

The road works for Sandyford Fire Station involves the creation of an emergency exit from the site out onto Reginald Mitchell Way and includes alterations to the central reservation, the installation of traffic signals and a box junction. These works are purely to facilitate the operation of the new site in an emergency situation and do not have any affect on the current speed limit which will remain unaltered.

2. We have been led to believe by our local councillor and the local fire service, that a second set of pelican crossings will be installed lower between Rhodes/Marlborough Way (FOCUS) roundabout and the new fire station intersection of Reginald Mitchell Way but have never had any written confirmation. Please can I be permitted to see any documentation of these new traffic lights?

No additional pedestrian crossings are necessary to facilitate the development, a plan of the general access arrangements can be provided.

What are your thoughts?

It truly wears you down Tony I can tell you. I'll make sure this one goes onto the next agenda.

I don't know if your suggestion is legal, but it would certainly raise awareness again.

What else do you suggest?

Good idea, thanks for your help. @Steve put it on the agenda mate
