The current length of red-route marking is ridiculously short, ending well before the road narrows at Bunka. It then goes to a single yellow, which is what causes problems in the evenings and weekends. The red route section needs to be MUCH longer.

The problems during the day are mainly caused by illegal parking, some of it partly on the pavements. I also wonder if the single yellows allow loading and unloading? If so, some of the obstructive parking is currently legal. I think bollards would be an excellent idea, along with the extension of the red route, to combat this. The idea of creating parking at the old post office is a good one, as long as the Sylvan Post won't lose too much of its outdoor seating.

The works in Sydenham were very disruptive, but people soon adapted and they could have been a lot worse. I think these works are going to be on a smaller scale so hopefully the disruption will be less.

Will this thread form part of the public consultation?
