Parking Restrictions in Darwin Road

The Council has drawn up plans for a Traffic Regulation Order for Darwin Road. This proposes yellow lines around the junctions of Darwin Road and Greville Road and Darwin Road and Thornbury Avenue.

This is to stop cars parking on the corners of the road and blocking visability. There was an accident at the junction with Thornbury Avenue recently and these plans are response to the concerns raised by residents.

Unless there are strong objections to the proposals this will be implemented in the near future.

Residents Parking

The results of the recent residents parking surveys in Silverdale and Cawte Road were as follows:

Silverdale

74.4% of residents favoured a residents parking scheme for the whole road, operating 8am - 6pm, Monday to Saturday, with 2 permits available.

Cawte

79.2% of residents favoured a residents parking scheme operating 8am - 6pm, Monday to Saturday. 2/3rds of residents also favoured additional restrictions in the evenings.

Freemantle's councillors will therefore be pushing the council to implement these schemes as soon as possible. There will be a further chance for residents to object once the plans are formally drawn up and put out for consultation.

Well Done Banister Infant School!

Congratulations to Banister Infant School on the results of the recent Ofsted report.

The Inspector has rated the school as "good" and remarked “I think your school is good. All your staff, but especially your headteacher, deputy headteacher and governors work well to make things as good as they are.”

Congratulations again.
