A25 ACTION GROUP

Living in sundridge we are experiencing daily problems with the speed and volume of traffic on our roads. We are being kept awake at night due to the speeding lorries and our house is vibrating due to the volume of lorries going past at speed.

Very near miss a couple of months ago travelling East between westerham and Brasted. Traffic queuing westbound behind large lorry parked outside the yard selling fencing etc. As I drove past the line of traffic round the bend I was forced to make an emergency stop to avoid colliding head on with a smaller lorry that had obviously pulled out of the line of traffic to drive on the wrong side of the road (at speed) to make a right hand turn across the eastbound side of the road into a farm track. Once I'd stopped I beeped my horn and the lorry driver just made an extremely rude gesture. I was particular upset at this incident as I had my 18 month old son in the car and was also 8 months pregnant at the time. Our family lives on the lower section of Chart Lane and we'd also be very keen to see traffic calming measures between Brasted and Brasted Chart. The road is used as a high speed rat run - particularly dangerous for residents having to use concealed entrances to their homes, and the many cyclists using the lane. The lane has particularly poor visibility on very sunny days for to the effect of the sunlight thorough the very dense trees. Cyclists themselves should also be encouraged to slow down coming down the hill. If there is any impetus to campaign for a slower Chart Lane, we'd be very keen to be involved.

C'est tout simplement du vol .j'habite proche du pont un passage de 6.60$ premier avis de 15.78 $ pour un total de 22,38$ exagération à une limite.

The heavy traffic on the A25 exacerbates problems on the London Road. Apart from the large lorries, the sheer speed of traffic coming down from the town towards Biggin Hill, is very dangerous - particularly as it approaches the Zebra Crossing used by Primary School Children and elderly residents

Heavy traffic should be restricted in this beautiful town

Save our green belts

Heavy congestion causes many problems through the Westerham area.

Far too many large lorries using this part of the A25

In wholeheartedly supporting the points in this petition, may I also request a notice on the London Road highlighting "Children Crossing" and a reduced speed limit on the approaches to the Zebra Crossing where the children cross to go to Churchill School - now there is no "lollipop person". Traffic is far TOO FAST coming round the corner and down the hill - it is so dangerous. Thank you

Dear Mr/Mrs, I believe M25 was build to alleviate traffic going through historic villages along the A25. Nevertheless, study report issued by Sevenoaks City Council etc in 2003 showed unprecedented increase in traffic that continous to this day. Even though the report has suggested options to delay with such unprecedented increase in traffic such as Chevening junction nothing has happened 10 years after the report. Externalities as result of the traffic do more harm than good. Regards, Martin Forman

Build Westerham bypass (cost only £5M)

Lorries travelling to Cherry Lodge Golf Course are causing a complete mess on the roads. Our pavements cannot cope with these lorries and the force of these lorries passing can nearly knock you off your feet

The lotties speed through the narrow steets causes bottlenecks, pollution and noise.
