I have posted before about Salisbury Rd see moreThe clean up day for salisbury Rd was today, Here is me with hardworking Neighbourhood warden Dave. This was a great team effort, Residents parked elsewhere for the day and the highways people were able to repair and replace parts of the road surface and curbstones. The street was properly swept while the cars were out of the way. residents were spoken to individually about the recycling scheme to ensure that the bins are properly used, and that residents are aware of the need to sore their bins off the pavement. The opportunity was taken to lift the two redundant lamp posts. A very successful day.
I have received this response from highways:
I attended site yesterday afternoon to check the operation of the Owls Road/St Johns Road traffic signals. All the pushbuttons on site were demanding the pedestrian phase and all the red and green man far side signals were illuminating as required.
I did, however, find a problem with the detection on St Johns Road which was causing the start of the pedestrian phase to be delayed. I have informed the maintenance company and they will investigate this within 24 hours.

I have recieved this response with regard to the pavements and the parking scheme in Salisbury and Carnarvan Rd
Under the Department for Transport criteria for best practice in highway maintenance, footways are categorised for inspection and maintenance ranging from category 1: Primary Walking Routes, in busy shopping and business areas and main pedestrian routes to Category 4: Local Access Footways, associated with low usage, short estate roads and cul-de-sacs. Salisbury Road is a Category 4 footway, which only receives an annual safety inspection from which any hazardous defects would be repaired.
The Council's limited budget for footway maintenance is concentrated towards the maintenance of Category 1 and 2 footways only, i.e. main pedestrian routes, shopping areas and schools.
I will draw your concerns about the condition of Salisbury Road to the attention of the Portfolio Holder.
The first public consultation to gauge demand on the proposed residents parking permit schemes for the Lytton Road Area Zone and the Salisbury Road/Carnarvon Road Zone went out to residents and the (former) Ward Councillors on 27 March 2007 with a return date of 30 April 2007. We are currently assessing the results to determine the details of a scheme that is best fitted to the needs of the residents for a second round of consultation with the residents at the end of June. Support for the proposals by the residents will lead to a Decision Notice signed by the Portfolio Holder by mid-September approving the final schemes . Advertisement and statutory consultation on the Traffic Regulation Orders to introduce the residents parking permit schemes would start in October, leading to a Decision Notice reporting the outcome in mid-December. And finally, the implementation of the schemes would be January/February 2008.
As you can see, the consultation and statutory processes involved with these schemes is particularly onerous.

Salisbury Rd and Carnarvon Rd
Residents have raised concern over the street scene in Salisbury/Canarvan Rd.
I have spoken to the lighting team about the two lamp posts which are in bad condition, they replied;
"There are at least two columns that require removing. Unfortunately on several occassions our contractor has tried to gain access with the column lifting lorry but the members of public ignore the parking restriction notices and obstruct the road. I will try and instigate some restrictions in order to gain access to carry out the work."
They will let me know when this will be booked in again.
I have also raised the issues with wheelie bins and the recycling, and will stay in contact with the recycling officer to find a solution, including information in different languages. The council has the information in, Arabic, Cantonese, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish. If any residents are able to tell me which of these may be needed, I would appreciate that. I have also requested more large stickers so that it is clear which bins are suitable for different sorts of waste.
I have enquired about the frequency of street cleaning, and the effectiveness of the method used, I have had the following reply;
"The area cleansing team visits Salisbury rd every Monday and this service is enhanced when required by the “Safe and Clean” team which operates in Boscombe and Springbourne This team carries out emergency works as well as a free collection of bulky goods (up to 3 items every 6 months) from within the designated area."
They are consulting with highways dept to look at completing a deep clean in the area and clean out the drains as well, and will let me know the date for this work.
I have also contacted highways and asked for an update on the parking scheme, and asked that they look at the pavements and curbstones, which are in poor condition. I am awaiting a reply.
