We the undersigned Petition Land Securities, for the safety of local residents, to reconsider the day to day use of the Hitcham Road Access Point of the Bishop Centre Development within the terms of the planning permission and to restrict to routine access to pedestrians/cyclists only (with provision for use in exceptional circumstances as a vehicle access point).

As local residents, we realise planning has been granted for vehicular access but appeal to you to exercise discretion when implementing this permission.

We ask for this based on our safety and that of our children as we believe that allowing vehicles to use this access point will increase the flow of traffic along Hag Hill Lane.

Hag Hill Lane is the sole pedestrian route off the Hag Hill estate (including for school children of all aged) and does not have pavement along the majority of its length.

Please do not put commercial need above the safety of local residents and their children.

The lack of response from Land Securities remains disappointing but we continue to prepare our formal submission regarding the safety risks of the Hitcham Road access point. Your persistence in highlighting the dangers of increased traffic on Hag Hill Lane is vital to our position.

June 15, 2014

The recent increase in interest regarding the Hitcham Road access point demonstrates that our concerns are widely shared by the community. This momentum confirms that prioritize safety for our residents and children is a collective responsibility we take seriously. We shall prepare to present these concerns to Land Securities with this clear mandate for change.

Keep the lorries out. It's a residential street not a delivery zone. Use some common sense for once.

Total madness. Who thought opening that access point was a good idea with no proper pavement? Needs to stop now before there is a tragedy.

hag hill lane is way too narrow for more traffic. my kids walk this road every single day to get to school and i am terrified someone is going to get hit.
