STOP TRAFFIC USING CROSS LANE, NORTHWOLD

Despite the signs at both ends of Cross Lane, there is a continuing problem with vehicles, mainly delivery vehicles and lorries, using Cross Lane and causing damage to properties and verges. Northwold and Whittington Parish Council has raised this issue and possible solutions with Norfolk County Council without success. The County Council is unwilling to address the matter until a village wide consultation has taken place.  

The Parish Council is proposing that, as well as new signage, vehicle access along Cross Lane is prohibited by the placing of a bollard within a few metres of each end of the lane. This would allow vehicle access for residents adjacent to Hovell’s Lane, and those adjacent to Church lane, but would prevent any vehicles driving further down the lane.

Cross lane is used by many residents, including children, to walk or cycle to the playground, the sports field and the social club. Prohibiting traffic in this way would therefore also eliminate the risk of accidents and injury to pedestrians and cyclists.   Please support this proposal by signing this petition.

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PROPOSAL EVEN IF THE ISSUE DOES NOT AFFECT YOU DIRECTLY. HELP YOUR PARISH COUNCIL TO PERSUADE THE COUNTY COUNCIL TO NOW DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM
