Proposals

Background

Bridge Parish Council and Canterbury City Council
met last December to discuss the details of the
village traffic plan. The proposals on the plan were
then agreed by the City Council's Highways Sub

Committee in February.

Problem

Two problems were identified as being the most
serious:

The speed of traffic approaching the village centre
from the north and the lack of pedestrian crossing
facilities in the centre of the village, particularly at

school times.

Proposals

To address the problems of speeding traffic, it is
proposed to‘ extend the 30mph speed limit and to
construct kerb extensions on the south bound side
of the road.

Zebra crossings are proposed near to the junction
with Conyngham Lane and near to the junction with
Western Avenue.

An exhibition showing the proposals in
more detail has been arranged at:

Bridge Village Hall
High Street, Bridge
on
Thursday 2 November 1pm - 7pm
Friday 3 November 1pm - 5pm

Saturday 4 November 10am - 4pm

The exhibition will be manned by

Members of the Parish Council and
officers from the City Council who will

be able to answer any questions you may
have on the scheme.

You will be asked to complete a
questionnaire about the proposals. This
will allow us to gauge the whole village's
response to the scheme

Please come along and make your views
known to us.
