Dangerous Crossing at Taylor Wimpey Bourne View

Please provide a safer crossing for the residence of your development.

Why is this important?

As you can see on the site plan:- https://www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/find-your-home/england/oxfordshire/hook-norton/bourne-view

Bourne Lane takes a sharp turn at the North end leading to Sibford Road (and Hook Norton Primary School). It is a blind corner and very dangerous, especially in dark/wet/icy conditions.

At present (Novemeber 2016) there are no road markings for drivers, and the pavement you have provided is too narrow. The pavement is also overgrown and cut off by bollards making the small crossing area impossible to use.

Pedestrians are currently putting themselves at risk to get across the road. This is the route many residence use to walk our children to/from school and concerns are growing as the days become darker and the weather takes a turn into winter.

We would like this issue resolved before an accident occurs. Prevention rather than cure.

The residence would be happy to walk a Manager of the site through the area of note and discuss the solution to this serious matter.

We look forward to your swift response.

Good morning all, I've just had a really good meeting with Site Manager Wayne.

We took a walk along the area in question and he agreed that action is required.

The following points have been raised for immediate action:-

1. Cut back the overgrown bushes along the pathway.
2. Remove all 5 traffic cones and cut back the protruding pipe (which they currently conceal).
3. Remove the wooden and metal fences to the ex-show-homes.
4. Remind site staff to maintain safety at all times.

There is still more work to be done on Bourne Lane, a better pathway needs to be provided. I'm yet to find out who I need to contact about that.

Lets see what happens over the next few days. In the meantime thanks for signing, please keep sharing!

...to be continued!
