From the Gypsy and Site Residents Survey Conducted Summer 2024 – Winter 2025, 11 out of 13 Residencies at The Osbaldwick Gypsy and Traveller Site had negative views of Outgang Lane
|
Q4. Do you think the road leading to your plot is in good condition? Please give details: |
|
· No (would give no further details) |
|
· The roads are in a poor condition with potholes, and they are dangerous with people speeding |
|
· The road is dangerous and someone was murdered when they were run over by a lorry, people drive too fast and don't care about us |
|
· No, they are terrible, no lighting, dangerous with lots of traffic and people speeding |
|
· Dangers due to fast drivers from Tony Martins. No Pathways, an additional road would be a bonus |
|
· Not good, worried because someone got run over, I do not leave the site often, the traffic is terrible and onsite people park outside of my plot which is upsetting as I like to look out. |
|
· No, my kids can't use it, I have to be with them as it is dangerous. We usually leave the site by car. People drive too fast down there |
|
· Not the front road, that road is too dark, people drive too fast, there used to be another road - why was that closed? I new road would be good. The roads on site are fine |
|
· The roads are ok on site, the road outside is too busy, people drive too fast, poor lighting |
|
· The road is dark, with potholes, lorries are often speeding and its dangerous |
|
· No. terrible outside the site and not good on it - especially for a bike. |
The other two residencies simply said Outgang Lane was “fine”.
