Sep 09 - Road Safety Improvement Scheme Eye Road Goldbrook and Low Road, Hoxne

Your opinion counts – have your say now

On 7 September Hoxne Parish Council considered a proposal to alter the junction at the corner of the Eye Road Goldbrook and Low Road - the purpose being to slow the flow of vehicle movement through it (click here to dowload diagram). After years of concerns expressed at Parish Meetings, and elsewhere, the Parish Council, supported by Suffolk County Council, are on the verge of funding improvements.

It is perhaps inevitable that further consideration will now be given by many people, including members of the Parish Council, so as to look at other and perhaps better ways of spending the money. As an alternative, we are looking at restricting the carriageway on the Bridge nearest the Swan Public House.

Costings for both proposals are currently being sought from the County Council - who are currently supportive about funding the limited improvement in Goldbrook and other possible projects at a later date.

We aim to make a decision very soon - to do otherwise may lose us funding. This is your chance to voice an opinion. Please contact any of your Parish Councillors – details inside front cover of the Village Voice, call the Parish Clerk, Sarah Foote, on 07554 733621 or email pc@hoxne.suffolk.gov.uk Please let us have your thoughts by 6 October 2009.
