I receive complaints on a regular basis about the road humps on Stubley Lane. These were originally put in when the school was still on site at Gosforth and many people wonder why they are still there. As a driver of a small car I have considerable sympathy with this as even driving at 15mph they are uncomfortable to drive over and probably damaging to the car.

I have tried to get them at least modified (they appear to be higher and sharper than many of the humps elsewhere) but the County C ouncil have been unmoveable on this over the last 3 years.  I am however going to meet one of their  officers on site soon and discuss this issue yet again alongside the fact that within a few months there will be more traffic arising from the 100 houses which are being built on the old school site

While mostly supportive of the traffic calming scheme currently being developed on Gosforth Drive/Pentland and Leabrook Roads [see my post dated 21st Novemebr 2007] I have had several responses relating  to obscured vision onto Pentland Road due to cars and other larger vehicles parked near, indeed right up to junctions. The problems mostly identified relate to the junction with Gorsey Brigg (very busy due to shops and schools) and junction with Balmoral Crescent and at the Pentland Road/Leabrook Road/Gosforth Drive junction. I have asked the County Council to look at this and will report back later on their response
