Concerns for the safety of pedestrians have been raised by a parish council in their objection against a proposed housing development.
Plans are currently at the consultation stage for nine homes to be built on the site of the former Haven Boarding Kennels & Cattery in Lightmoor, Telford.The council’s highways, ecology and coal authority departments have supported the scheme subject to conditions.
They state that Lightmoor Road is a ‘busy through road’ used by residents of Doseley and Little Dawley along with drivers using it as a ‘rat run’. Lorries also make deliveries to businesses located on the road. The parish council have also raised fears that the traffic at the T junction at Lightmoor Road and the A4169 will be made worse by vehicles from the two planned developments.
“To arrive at Woodside pedestrians must cross the A4169, Ironbridge Bypass. Close to the busy junction of Lightmoor Road and the Ironbridge Bypass there is an exceedingly small refuge, which affords little protection to pedestrians. It is inadequate now and will be more so when residents move into the new and proposed new development.”
The access has been ‘adjusted’ to meet the southern channel of Lightmoor Road at an angle of 114 degrees.
