We, the undersigned residents of Black Dike Lane, Manor Close and other residents with garages in Black Dike Lane, are concerned about the risk of a serious accident due to vehicles driving at an inappropriate speed and the increasing volume of large vehicles using the lane.

Black Dike Lane is partly a single track country lane and partly a narrow residential lane with 31 houses (including those in Manor Close), a blind corner and, along most of its length, no footpaths.

We consider that the lane is now unsafe for both pedestrians, especially the four residents who use wheelchairs and children, and riders of the horses and children’s ponies stabled in the lane.

We petition that the council produces a plan to address the problems highlighted and work with partners to achieve this including speed reduction, restricting access to large vehicles and possibly gated closure of the lane at the junction with the A59.
