Comment on One way system scrapped by Jane Becker

I am very pleased that our objections have been listened to. May I add my thanks to those who put in time and effort to publicise the scheme. Let us hope they will start with a park and ride scheme and that the schools play ball about the congestion. It has been fine in St Johns this week! Interestingly, terrible on Ings Road heading towards Doncaster Road. Plenty there to exercise the Highways folk!
A special thanks to Jools and Jo for setting up the website and for keeping it open to allow future developments to be posted.

Comment on FOI request for traffic surveys by Mark

As a result of the Link Road becoming one-way, the volume of heavy traffic (buses & lorries) going past the Londis shop will increase substantially, which will exacerbate an already dangerous situation around the shop with cars parking and pulling out into the road. I think this is a real safety concern, especially as the road is not suited to heavy traffic but it will also cut the green off from the community and again the effect will be detrimental. (It is worth noting that when the last road changes were made at the junction of Snow Hill and Bradford Rd – next to the school playground, an agreement was made that no buses would use this route. Gradually this agreement has been eroded and is now totally ignored.)

The road past the Londis shop will be blocked to traffic coming down Bradford Rd into town as a result of that road becoming one-way, which will drive traffic either down Melbourne Rd and side streets to reach the back of the shop or up the link road and round the top of the green. With a one-way system round 2 sides of the green, the green will effectively become a roundabout which will ruin the character of the area and have a detrimental effect on the community.

Wentworth St/Bradford Rd will see a significant increase in the volume of buses and lorries, especially buses if there is to be a park and ride facility. This will result in heavy traffic being driven through the heart of the St John’s conservation area and right next to the most heavily used part of the school playground. As a result, the character of the area, which is one of the few parts of Wakefield with any character remaining, will be ruined; the impact on the community will be detrimental; and children’s health will suffer as a result of the worst polluting vehicles stopping and starting right next to the playground.

1.One only has to observe the traffic flows in the area outside of school term time to conclude that there is no substantive problem to justify the proposed gyratory.
2.The Council would be better advised to first address the problems created by the transport of children to and from the various schools in the area
3.The suggested “lay over parking from home to school transport” and an integrated Park and Ride might in themselves achieve the majority of the objectives of the Council.

Its a nightmare already trying to get into town from Newton Hill School between 8.30 and 9am due to the lollipop man outside QUEGS who is trigger hapy with the button. By increasing the volume of traffic along this route will just make things 10 times worse.
