Notice has been given pursuant to Council Procedure Rule 11 of the intention to present a petition in the following terms:

 

Platts Heath safe transport scheme

 

We, the undersigned, call upon Kent County Council to produce, with local community participation, a transport plan to make our village safe and sustainable for the future.

 

WE REQUEST:

 

•  a maximum speed limit of 20mph in School Lane

•  20mph outside the school in Headcorn Road

•  investigations to take place to identify methods to slow down traffic entering from the North and South on Headcorn Road

•  the 30mph speed limit in Lenham Road to be extended further south as outlined in a previous report sent to Maidstone Joint Transportation Board

•  improved and additional signage and road markings

 

We ask that Kent County Council fully consider these requests and produce a plan that works and enables the community to have a safer environment for all residents.  Consultation and input must include the School and all local residents and plans implemented at the Councils earliest opportunity.

 

 

Notice has been given pursuant to Council Procedure Rule 11 of the intention to present a petition in the following terms:

We, the undersigned, request that Kent County Council extend the existing 20mph speed zone to further residential roads around North Maidstone. Due to the close proximity to local schools and the walking routes for young children the roads to be included in the 20mph zone should be: Hillary Road, The Hedges, Gladstone Road and Peel Street.
