Shire Lane Closure – Fenton Road (is it adequate)?

I can imagine Fenton Road is going to get very busy when Shire Lane closes for short periods during Persimmons construction of hundreds of homes at Fernwood.

On a personal note, I don’t think the road is adequate to take the projected diverted traffic. Reasons:

  1. Not wide enough.
  2. Not durable to withstand heavy vehicles.
  3. No passing places.

Of course I could be the only one that thinks this, but here are some pictures taken today of damage with occasional, but heavy traffic. If you believe there is a case to answer, I would suggest writing to the District Councillor.
