BOROUGH Council chiefs are being urged to undertake a traffic management study at Glazebury as a result of growing concerns about traffic issues in the village.
Newly-elected parish councillor Joan Grime (pictured) has joined borough councillor Chris Vobe in calls for the study.
Residents complain of heavy lorries causing vibrations through their homes, traffic congestion around the newly-installed roundabout, parking problems and speeding on parts of Warrington Road.
The councillors believes the issues need to be looked at “in the round” rather than individual and that a traffic management plan is the best way forward.
Cllr Grime said: “Many people have told me about the impact that various traffic-related issues are having on people’s quality of life in Glazebury.
“Problems such as road safety, inadequate parking provision and the ongoing difficulties with HGVs all demonstrate a clear need for us to work towards implementing a traffic management plan for the
village.”
Cllr Vobe added: “We have met with senior council officers to set the ball rolling and are in the process of working a traffic management study into the council’s work programme for this year.
“This will include a meaningful consultation with all residents about how we can improve the situation for everyone.”
