A resident recently asked Lib Dem Cllr Liz Phillips if it was possible to introduce a one way traffic system in to Ferndale and Malvern Roads.

Before approaching the council, Liz and the team decided to carry out a residents’ survey in both roads to gauge the support for such a scheme.

The outcome of the survey was extremely close with 30 people in favour and 27 opposed.

As there was no great demand for this scheme, and a considerable opposition to it, Liz decided not to pursue it.

However many people raised the issue of the volume of parking and the need for a controlled parking zone. Many of you will remember that, following the
Olympics, the council consulted about making the Olympic parking zone permanent, and the majority voted against it.
