I am amazed by the number of people who have raised the issue of traffic safety and parking in Derwent Drive. I took a look for myself and it is clear that residents are having to put up with a lot of problems.

Interestingly many of the problems occur at school times as there is not enough room for all the parents dropping off and picking up from the local School. But strangely the yellow lines which are supposed to stop these problems are actually ust penalising the residents who are generally not causing the problem.

A number of solutions have been put to me including one way systems, new bays and new school travel plans. One thing is clear, a co-ordinated approach will be necessary. I am polling residents and asking for their views. Please get in touch if you have any ideas.
