Cllr Pam Broadhead reports that she has spoken at great length today to Island Roads who refuse to listen to the Parish Council regarding diversions, traffic control or signs. They have offered no help whatsoever. As far as we understand the present arrangement means that, for example, the HGV traffic as well as four buses an hour running through Wellow and Thorley. Jaw-droppingly irresponsible, in my opinion. Pam is going to continue to work with other councillors, and the ward councillor and the local police in Yarmouth to see if something can be done before this happens at the weekend. As soon as we hear anything I will post it here.
Meanwhile, it would help greatly if as many residents as possible can make their views known and use whatever influence they have with the 'powers that be' to stop this happening, before someone gets hurt, or worse, is involved in a fatal accident.
If anyone with legal training can look at the legality of Island Roads's plan in the context of the link to the Government manual at http://tinyurl.com/poqgvd5 that would be most helpful.
