OK, so this slide shows a map of the central area of Granford, with the High Street in the middle and
School Road on the right. Now, we already have a set of traffic lights in the High Street at the junction with Station Road, but we’re planning to have another set at the other end, at the School Road junction (Q14), to regulate the flow or traffic along the High Street.
We’re decided we definitely need a pedestrian crossing. We considered putting this on School Road,
just outside the school, but in the end we decided that could lead to a lot of traffic congestion so we decided to locate it on the High Street, crossing the road in front of the supermarket (Q15).
That’s a very busy area, so it should help things there.
We’re proposing some changes to parking. At present, parking isn’t allowed on the High Street outside the library, but we’re going to change that, and allow parking there (Q16), but not at the
other end of the High Street near School Road.
There’ll be a new ‘No Parking’ sign on School Road, just by the entrance to the school (Q17),
forbidding parking for 25 metres. This should improve visibility for drivers and pedestrians, especially
on the bend just to the north of the school.
As far as disabled drivers are concerned, at present they have parking outside the supermarket, but
lorries also use those spaces, so
we’ve got two new disabled parking spaces on the side road up towards the bank (Q18).
It’s not ideal, but probably better than the present arrangement.
We also plan to widen the pavement on School Road. We think we can manage to get an extra half-metre on the bend just before you get to the school, on the same side of the road (Q19).
Finally,
