Dunstable Road, Bury Park Consultation Report

DUNSTABLE ROAD, BURY PARK CONSULTATION REPORT

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 On 4th April 2016 the Council’s Executive heard a technical report regarding safety issues in Dunstable Road, Bury Park. The Executive agreed that a public consultation should be held on the proposals put forward by officers.

1.2 The proposals were

a) Extending 20mph zone to Birch Link b) Ban parking on footways throughout the area c) Install a signalised crossing near Bury Park Road d) Install a raised flat topped speed hump at Nadeem Plaza e) Install additional waiting restrictions at junctions including loading ban f) Install coloured surfacing on the existing flat topped speed humps

1.3 This report is as a result of this consultation.

2.0 METHODOLOGY

2.1 A consultation leaflet was designed (copy at Appendix 1). This asked for the public’s opinion on the proposals. It also included an additional question regarding restricting deliveries to shops and businesses to before 10am and after 8pm. To allow analysis of the response people were asked to say whether they were a resident of Bury Park area, business in Bury Park, local resident or other along with their postcode.

2.2 Around 1100 leaflets were hand delivered to all residents within the area shown in Appendix 2.

2.3 The leaflet advertised a staffed public exhibition and gave residents the opportunity to complete the consultation questionnaire on-line or by returning the detachable free post sheet.

2.4 Posters advertising the public exhibition and leaflets were also give out to businesses, community centres and libraries as per the list in Appendix 3.

2.5 An advert was taken out in Luton on Sunday on 22 May 2016. A further full page advert was also taken out in the June edition of Luton Line distributed on 29 May 2016. A press release was issued to further advertise the consultation.

2.6 A staffed public exhibition was held on 4 June 2016 between 12 noon and 4pm at Bury Park Educational Institute where any member of the public could come and speak to officers. Members of the public attending were encouraged/ assisted to complete the consultation questionnaire.

2.7 The consultation opened on 23 May 2016 and closed on 24 June 2016.

3.18 Just under 5.5% 13No were concerned that the speed tables were confusing to road users who didn’t know who had the right of way and this could be made worse with coloured surfacing. Additional comments included that coloured surfacing was unsightly and also not needed.

3.21 15 (nearly 5%) felt that deliveries should also be banned in the morning peak traffic period.

3.22 There was a concern from businesses that many of them did not open until 10am and therefore, needed to be able to have deliveries after this time.

Other comments 3.23 There was an opportunity for people completing the questionnaire to make additional comments. These have been analysed and fall into seven main categories. a) Buses b) Enforcement c) Footway d) Parking e) Pedestrian facilities f) Traffic flow g) Other

Buses 3.24 Some respondents were concerned that buses stopping at bus stop in the traffic lane caused congestion and suggested that bus stop laybys were re- introduced.

3.25 Some felt that there should be a bus lane in Dunstable Road.

3.26 A few respondents were concerned that there were either too many bus stops or they were in the wrong location causing congestion.

3.27 There was a suggestion that the bus route was diverted. Bus indicator boards were also requested for all bus stops.

Enforcement 3.28 69 (22 %) of respondents felt that there should be more enforcement of the waiting restrictions including evenings and at weekends.

3.29 20 (6.4%) mentioned the need to carry out enforcement by CCTV camera.

3.30 Some respondents were concerned that there was not enough enforcement of traffic law especially speed limits and right turn bans.

3.31 There was a suggestion that Dunstable Road should be made a ‘red route’.

Footway 3.32 56 (17.8%) of respondents were concerned about shops displaying goods on the public footway causing obstruction to pedestrians especially people with pushchairs or wheelchairs. They would like to see more enforcement.

3.33 A number of people were concerned about the rubbish left by the shops and again wanted more enforcement.

Parking 3.34 21 (6.7%) of respondents felt there should be more parking in the area. Some suggested this could be achieved by making the on-street parallel parking into echelon parking. Encouraging Sainsbury/Lidl to allow there car parks to be used for the local area was suggested. The use of redundant land was also suggested in Hazlebury Crescent and Birch Link. Constructing a multi-storey car park was also suggested.

3.35 Some people felt that the car park on Birch Link should be re-organised/entry and exit barriers installed.

Pedestrian Crossings 3.36 26 (8.3%) felt that the speed tables should be converted to controlled pedestrian crossings to reduce confusion. A few people felt that these should be in the form of zebras. Additional controlled pedestrian crossings were requested for outside Community Centre and near Waldeck Road.

3.37 Some felt that the area should be pedestrianised although some felt that buses should be allowed through.

3.38 One person requested barriers along the central reservation to prevent pedestrian crossing except at pedestrian crossings.

Traffic Flow 3.39 16 (5.1%) of respondents commented about the amount of traffic causing congestion and impeding emergency service/buses.

3.40 5.1% (16 No) suggested that Dunstable Road should be made one way.

3.41 18 (5.7%) would like to see the road widened. 8.9% (28No) suggested reducing the width of the footway. A few people suggested removing the central reservation. One person felt parking spaces should be removed and one person felt the bus lane between Moor Street and Telford Way should be removed.

3.42 A few people were concerned that the right turn into Waldeck Road with the suggestion that right turn bans should be made impossible. While others felt that the right turn from Dunstable Road to Waldeck Road should be allowed.

3.43 Some people suggested that the right turn into Beech Road from Dunstable Road should be allowed whilst others were concerned that people were turning right illegally and the ban should be enforced.

3.44 A few people felt that the road humps should be removed.

Other 3.45 A few people were concerned about the flow of traffic in Hazelbury Crescent and Kenilworth Road. There were suggestions that both roads should be made one way. Other suggestions included removing the parking bays at the bottom of Kenilworth Road and introducing a no left turn into Hazelbury Crescent from Dunstable Road and to remove the no right turn out of Hazelbury Crescent into Dunstable Road.

3.46 There was a request for a zebra crossing in Francis Street.

3.47 There was a request for more trees/flowers in Dunstable Road.

Summary of letters 3.48 Historic England broadly welcomed the proposals. Although they do suggest that the opportunity to review the wider public realm is taken to ensure that it is designed in sympathy with the character of the area and to a high standard with superfluous and redundant street furniture and signing removed.

3.49 The Roman Catholic parish priest of Bury park stated that he and his parishioners were concerned about a) The contravention of parking restrictions, parking in bus stops (no bus bays) and double parking. b) Need for much greater enforcement of traffic restrictions c) Takeover of pavement by shop displays restricting pedestrian movement d) Cavalier use of pavements for parking e) Congestion causing health issues

Apart from the road issues I would like something done about grocery/ food shop owners allowing people to sell clothes etc outside their shops adding to the problem. I agree that people shouldn't be allowed to park at any & every available space on the pavement, blocking entrances to people's properties & pedestrians access. Whilst I understand it's a vibrant shopping area some of these shops as to how much of the pavement they utilise, because apart from it beginning to become untidy & looking like a market place from another country, pedestrians have to negotiate their way in & out of makeshift displays of fruit/ food/ clothes/ people etc. Today someone even put a tin of oil in the parking bay to save the space for himself & prevent other drivers parking there.
