What a disaster. Increases risk rather than safety.

When is grass going to be planted as weeds are now 2ft high at the bus stop? A real eyesore.

Accident will happen on the give way on the blind bend on Sherbourne. The calming at the bottom of Frensham completely pointless as you can still go through without dropping speed. There were no signs warning drivers of new Road layout initially. Entrance to portland drive is an absolute joke as it's causing more issues with people parking outside the coop. No prior consultation took place with local residents. At the top of Sherbourne near the junction of Selby they took out two perfectly good bus laybys narrowing the road and creating yet another hazard on a blind bend and hill. Weeds are now at a hight on these laybys causing poor visibility causing even more hazards for drivers and pedestrians. At what cost to tax payers to create such though less dangers? Clueless.

The chicane on Sherbourne avenue is dangerous and is too close to the bend.
The alterations to portal nd and Waltham are too close to the junction and cause chaos

Absolutely ridiculous, I pulled out of Waltham crescent last night and nearly went straight into another car coming into Portland drive because they've built the corner of the road up and u have to pull into the middle of the road to get round it !!!
Just dangerous forces cars to go wider around the bend could cause an accident

Every day I have a near miss at this ridiculous obstruction! Complete waste of money and an absolute death waiting to happen. Very nearly knocked a little girl off her bike this morning she was in the road and there was a car coming in the opposite direction to myself but obviously you cannot see the other person coming until it is too late and you have committed to the turn. I had to mount the path to avoid hitting her and the other car! Could of left the street lamps on instead of building a death trap just a thought?

The traffic calming measures are dangerously sited on blind bends. There is a risk of more accidents than before

On a blind corner and people park too close to it.. What was wrong with a few speed bumps?

Have lived in Waltham Crescent for 33 years. The junction with Sherbourne Ave near the shops has always needed caution due to speeding drivers coming round the corner further up Sherbourne Ave. The recent modifications to the junctions of Waltham Crescent and Portland Drive have made turning onto Sherbourne Avenue even more dangerous due to the narrowing of the road at this point which allows the passage of only one vehicle safely (there are no road signs indicating which flow of traffic has the right of way). I have seen more near accidents at this junction since the modifications than in all the 33 years I have lived here. Also, large delivery vehicles are unable to turn into Waltham Crescent without mounting the kerbside. Please, please do something soon - before there is a fatal accident here!

Needs removing, pointless waste of money, put bollards by the shop instead as someone else suggested to stop people blocking the junction, that's the only thing the road needed in the first place.

Cannot see a thing when coming out of Waltham Crescent you have to pull right out into Sherbourne Avenue it is a major accident waiting to happen. This new road layout needs to be removed.

I think the changes that have been made have made it more dangerous for drivers! It's a waste of the councils money, and potentially going to cause more accidents!
