Presented by: Mark Bristow - Petition submitted Wednesday 29 May 2024
Lead Officer: Tim Golabek - Service Lead, Transport & Infrastructure
Petition: We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to provide a bus service to find a solution to the traffic problems on Sunninghill High Street which causes serious danger to children and other pedestrians.
The current traffic situation on the B3020 at Sunninghill High Street cannot continue. Due to on street parking and a complete lack of traffic management, there is absolute gridlock several times a day.
People use the junction of the High Street and School Road as an unofficial passing place - immediately outside a primary school. Parking on the High Street during peak times reduces the road to a single lane causing serious congestion.
This in turn causes drivers to speed along the High Street when seeing that the lane appears clear before being blocked again by oncoming traffic. The parked vehicles and waiting traffic obstruct vision and access to the pedestrian crossing outside The Novello Theatre leading to St Michaels school.
This has resulted in numerous near misses where children have narrowly avoided being run over.
Update: This petition has been submitted to the Assistant Director and relevant lead officers
Petition Status: The Lead Petitioner has been in regular contact with officers who are going through the correct steps to achieve a possible resolution. The Lead Officer has asked those officers to create a short summary of the progress made so far and what the next steps will be. This will be presented to the Assistant Director and the relevant Cabinet Member, and will then be sent to the Lead Petitioner. If all is agreed, no further action will be required.
