Yes bollards.
Alston Road is a narrow road and a bus route and a rat run for traffic avoiding the High Street and Stapylton Road. It has a nice York stone pavement which is constantly being damaged by vehicles mounting the kerb.
The local residents association (SPACES) have been trying to get bollards installed for quite a while. There have been various meetings and false dawns. I decided to have a go at getting this sorted out. I met with the former head of highways on site and we agreed that bollards would be a good idea. Then there was a change in management and I had to start again. Finally last week I am promised that new bollards will be installed within the next 10 days. Here’s hoping that it happens!

So, why don’t we Compulsarily Purchase 1metre of garden down one side along the full length and widen the roadway?
All the problems solved in one go.
PS. It’s not a rat run – it’s an important access road for hundreds of houses, schools, environment centres and sports clubs.
Yes we could get a vogon constructor fleet to demolish ro whole lot and make way for a hyperspace by-pass!
Yes it is an important access rd but it’s also a rat run.
