Good idea, Sally. Perhaps we can discuss this at the next Ecco meeting.

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
Tracey

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
