Action to tackle speeding on Marshside Road

Your Lib Dem Team have been out again in Marshide today, talking with residents about our proposal to install a flashing variable speed sign to warn drivers of their speed and prompt them to slow down.

This follows the recent move to install a similar sign on nearby Fylde Road (see post below). 

This sign would be installed to the sea side of the bank at the top end of Marshside Road.  Evidence suggests that these signs are one of the most effective ways of traffic calming and so by installing the sign here we believe that drivers speeding from the Coast Road will be prompted to slow down as they approach the 20mph school zone around Stanley School.

The issue is set to be debated at the SouthportArea Committee on Wednesday March 31st so we would like  the views of residents to ensure that the installation of this sign would be fully supported by everyone in the area.  Please email sue@bluefountain.com if you support this initative.

Vandals damage sapling on Radnor Drive

Cllr Sue McGuire inspects the broken sapling at the bottom of Radnor Drive near the junction with Fleetwood Road.

Sue says “The Lib Dem team have reported this location and hope that the tree will be replaced during the next planting system. I have also asked that any replacement tree is provided with more protection to prevent any future damage.”
