RECEIPT OF PETITION – Improve road safety/traffic calming Overwoods Road
I refer to the petition, signed by local residents regarding the request regarding implementing traffic calming measures for Overwoods Road.
Staffordshire County Council has a statutory responsibility to study road collisions in its area and act as appropriate to reduce their numbers.
Details of how we use objective data to make informed decisions about road safety improvements, as well as information on how these are funded, are available on our website at the following address: https://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/Highways/roadsafety/Issues.aspx
I can confirm that this matter has been recorded on the Divisional Highway Programme (DHP) for the local County Councillor. They may consider funding further investigation into your concerns in the future, if the matter is considered a Local Community Priority over other similarly sincere highway concerns within the division. We are unable to confirm if (and when) an issue will be prioritised nor are we able to inform individuals of the status of their reported issue on an ongoing basis.
In the meantime, your constituent may wish to consider the advice and guidance available on the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership website at www.staffssaferroads.co.uk which aims to provide support to tackle anti-social driving in our communities.
Thank you once again for your petition and for bringing this matter to our attention.
Yours sincerely
Garry Hunt
Community Highways Manager
