20MPH might help, everywhere else seems to be getting them. Perhaps we should
have another go at applying for signage? We are on the rat run for the
schools...

Thanks for sharing your views, it's good to share ideas. I think it's a shame
that people aren't keen on the trees. I thought they would be far enough away
from the houses to not be an issue with obstructing light but I totally
understand. It's got to be down to the people living on that road though and
that's not me!

I am not a resident on Endcliiffe, though I can understand the views
expressed about light. I like Tracey’s suggestion of stone planters.
Also, I wonder, if not already done, whether an approach could be made to the
Council about some traffic calming measures.

I have to say, as Moira’s neighbour, I am in complete agreement with her.
Furthermore, witnessing the inconsiderate driving on our Road on a daily basis,
I think trees would only make things more hazardous (particularly for children
crossing the road) as they would further obscure the view.
I love trees and we are fortunate enough to have some wonderful mature
specimens at the back of our houses.
Maybe we could invest in some lovely stone (heavy) planting troughs for the
verges instead? These could be filled with low maintenance succulents or
colorful bedding.
Best wishes

Thanks for your suggestion, Clare, I can see your reasoning but as a
resident of Endcliffe Glen Road for 40 years I'd be very much against having
trees planted on our grass verges. The increased traffic and inconsiderate
drivers are indeed a great nuisance and at times a hazard. However, our house
is light and bright and I would not want trees in front of my window. Nor
would I want tree roots growing under my house. I'm not keen on all the
unsightly rocks and bricks on the grass verges but I'd prefer them to trees. I
just can't bear the thought of any loss of natural light.

HI,
I think I remember a while ago someone on this group saying that there
was some money to be spent on something local. If any money is still available
what about using it to buy some young trees to be planted on the grass verges
on Endcliffe Glen Road?
There is an issue with cars taking short cuts down this road, causing
blockages that result in cars annoyingly driving onto the grass verges. In
several places people have put rocks, sticks and piles of wood. If trees were
planted one of the many benefits could be stopping people driving on the verge.
Any thoughts?
Clare
