As in my previous post in mid-November regarding the situation in Lombard Street and in particular around the stud farm, a number of measures are being brought forward to attempt to address it. Not all the issues are within KCC’s remit, but those relating to the highway are.
I outlined then plans to install black and white posts to provide immediate protection for the verges for some 70 metres from Reynolds Place Cottages, and for the longer term for a consultation on yellow lines on the eastern (stud farm) side of the road up to the junction with Rays Hill.
The black and white bollards were installed some weeks ago. So far - as we feared might be the case - much of the effect has been to divert parking to elsewhere in the road, and so KCC plans to order more bollards (to go in towards the Mussenden Lane/ Rays Hill end of the road, which is narrower) to be installed, hopefully, towards the end of January.
Meanwhile, consultation on yellow line proposals will begin very early in the New Year, giving all local residents the chance to set out their views.
