An important part of the safety measures proposed for Badgers Mount following a fatal accident in 2012 has been the installation of gateway signs in the Orpington by-pass and Old London Road. This finally took place earlier this month, paid for from my Combined Member Fund.
Much of the safety plan has now been delivered, such as the reduced speed limit on the Orpington by-pass. There are still elements to be followed up, notably the proposal for a footpath alongside the Orpington by-pass which has still to secure Local Transport Plan funding. And residents will quite righty be concerned by those who do not follow the new, lower speed limits.
Nonetheless, this is a welcome step forward.
