Cookson SU Zoe Telford WB 2 Minutes of Last meeting Minutes signed, with minor amendment, as a true record. 3 Matters Arising There was a discussion on parking problems at the junction Quernmore Road/Park Avenue. Also discussed was the problem of turning right from Widmore Road into Tweedy Road as TfL has not yet reinstated the filter light, as they have agreed to do. 4 Police officer’s report There was a serious collision in Queensway, Petts Wood on 11th August at 16.05hrs, where an 85 year old male driver was attempting to exit Morrisons car park to turn left into Queensway. For reasons unknown, the car continued straight across the road, hitting the front of Give2give charity shop. The vehicle continued into the shop and hit a 67 year old female shop assistant. She sustained very serious injuries and was taken by Hems to the Royal London Hospital. Unfortunately she died on Sunday 14th August. The Metropolitan Police have confirmed (https://twitter.com/metpoliceuk and http://news.met.police.uk/news/fatal-collision-se20-182775) that 2 people were been fatally injured when a car collided with them in Lennard Road earlier. The car was being pursued by police at the time of the collision. The media are aware of this very sad incident and I am sure that there are a number of media reports already in circulation. You may have heard about these two recent collisions. The first one is on TfL’s road, so for info only. On 2nd Sept 2016 at 1127hrs an 89 year old lady was crossing the road in Bromley Hill at the pedestrian refuge south of the junction with Avondale Road. She stepped out in front of a south bound car that was being driven by a 31 year old male. The car hit her and she sustained serious injuries. This collision occurred very near to the border but is confirmed as being in Bromley borough. On 10th Nov a 28 year old female killed by a car in her driveway in Highland Road, Biggin Hill. Not on the public road but members may have heard about it On 14th Sept 2016 at 0703hrs an 84 year old male was driving down Polesteeple Hill, Biggin Hill when he lost control of his car. He hit another car which had braked in front of him and then mounted the footway hitting a 24 year old female pedestrian. She sustained serious injuries. The driver alleged brake failure, but there is some possibility that this may have been pedal confusion. FYI since the Panel meeting: On 17th Nov a 21 year old male was stopped at Station Approach, Hayes due to the Policing patrols put in place as a result of complaints made to me through the Road safety panel. He was wanted for some very serious offences and was arrested.
