Residents who are concerned about a possible 400 houses being built along Hollywall Lane and up to 1,000 proposed for nearby Packmoor, as well as further new homes earmarked for Harriseahead should consider joining the speedwatch group.

At present the speedwatch team on their last session witnessed 1,148 vehicles passing through the High Street in a one hour period. It is estimated that if all the developments are passed, then Sandyford at its A50/A527 junction could have an additional 2,500 vehicles passing through.

When attending the Local Plan drop-in session at Goldenhill Community Centre, it was advised to submit these figures if/when the Hollywall Lane application goes ahead. The traffic figures could stop the development, but if it goes ahead then the infrastructure could be made to facilitate any such land building.

If residents want to have their presence felt to try and make sure Sandyford gets the best out of any deal that may go ahead, then please attend tomorrows police speedwatch training session at 10.00 a.m. Saturday 18th October, Sandyford Fire Station.

Please Note! You can volunteer as little as one hour a month or even one hour every two months when attending a roadside speedwatch session with other volunteers, so please come along to tomorrows event, its free to attend, and usually lasts a couple of hours.
