Proposed Objection to Baker Street / Woolings Row Parking Restrictions
Final supporters
There is a proposal to enforce a "No Waiting At Any Time" restriction at the locations below:
a) Baker Street - east side from the common boundary of the Foxhound Riding school and Martingales, to the southern property boundary of No.6 Woolings Row
b) Woolings Close, both sides, from its junction with Baker Street, to the western property boundary of No.5 Woolings Row
As the residents of Woolings Row / Baker, our first and foremost concern is the ‘knock on issue’ of increased vehicle speeds, which will be much more apparent and serious in nature. The immediate neighbourhood affected by these proposals is home to many children who we (us as parents) want to encourage to walk and cycle. However, in order for them and us to gain the confidence to do so it must be done in a safe environment where traffic behaviour is predictable and consistent with the surrounding environment
The traffic acts as natural/informal traffic calming at the entrance to the village speed limit, not only helping reduce speed on this stretch of straight road, but giving a clear indication to drivers that they are now entering a more urban/village environment, where speed limit compliance is paramount!
We ask you to sign the petition below by Wednesday 22nd July no later than midday in order for us to present this to the council in person on Wednesday evening.

I have been reading through all your comments and it is clear that many of you share the same worries about the safety of our neighborhood streets. I am currently gathering all these points together to make sure the council understands exactly how much this affects our daily lives and the safety of our children.

I am truly overwhelmed by the momentum behind this and it is entirely thanks to your willingness to speak up for our neighborhood. Seeing so many people recognize the risks these parking changes pose to our families is incredibly humbling.

I totally object to double yellow lines outside these houses.As a mum of a young son it makes life really hard when visiting friends to have to park miles away from where your visiting especially when you have baby bags car seats pushchairs etc to carry and even worse when it's raining!
Cant think why this is being done as its not possible for us to make our cars disappear. They will be parked further down the road making an even bigger eyesore to the parking arrangement at the west side of Baker street or in the high road where no restrictions are in place despite being a bus route
There is barely anywhere to park in orsett as it is!!
This is a quiet rural road
This will stop people being able to visit family.
It's a bloody outrage... Down with Thatcher...
Road needs speed camera's not yellow lines.

Parking restrictions will result in speeding cars, parked cars slow traffic down, parts of Baker street and village need 20mph limit, that's my common sense UKIP view.
