Beddington Gardens has now been one-way (eastbound) for a couple of weeks by the parade of shops near Woodcote Road. Drivers who have come down the road from Carshalton and not realised that they will not be able to get out on to Woodcote Road have to turn around and head back to Shotfield. Quite a few people have been using the entrance to Hendfield Court to turn round and this has caused difficulties for people who live there and need to get out in their cars.
At the Stakeholder meeting* on Thursday this week we discussed how we might be able to help reduce the problem. Residents from Hendfield Court felt that repainting the Keep Clear markings on the road might help. The Keep Clear was repainted on Friday – less than 24 hours later.
A temporary Keep Clear was installed in Woodcote Road at the same time to help drivers who want to enter Beddington Gardens from Woodcote Road.
* The Statkeholder group oversees the Wallington Integrated Transport Package work and is made up of residents’ associations, local businesses, the police, friends of the library and local councillors.
