A public consultation on the plans ran from 4 to 25 February and received four concerns and one letter of support for the plans.One resident did not believe the speed limit had contributed to incidents on the road, but supported introducing the traffic island to help with vehicles cutting the corner when turning onto the west end part of the road.In response to the objections, council officers said the island would be combined with the speed pads to “provide a more effective traffic calming solution over a greater length of road”. They added: “Regarding noise and vibration, these are generally associated with vehicles traversing traffic calming measures at excessive speeds.”The proposed design, including narrowing with the island, is intended to encourage lower vehicle speeds and smoother vehicle movements, which should help to minimise such effects.”
