Motion 4 from Councillor Mary Freehill taken with Motions 5 and 14.

Following the Mount Argus Residents’ AGM I wish to make the following proposals:

1.     That the public lighting on Poddle Park be upgraded.  Currently it has yellow poor quality lighting; it needs to be brighter to allow for greater safety for walkers.   If the work cannot be carried out in the current budget that it be included in 2019 budget.

2.     The traffic access to Mount Argus Road at the Mount Jerome junction continues to be very challenging for residents to exit to Harold’s Cross Road:

a)     Flower sellers yet again need to move back to the footpath, encroachment on the public road is dangerous.

b)     DYL are needed at the mouth of Mount Argus Road, parking at the corner impedes egress.

c)     An on-site meeting is required with the Traffic Engineer (this road is a cul de sac and residents often have to deal with tail backs, especially when there are funerals) to find better solutions to this crossing.

3.     Dog fouling continues to be a problem in the park and needs enforcement action.

4.     Residents would like to have a 30kmph speed limit in the Mount Argus Estate.

5.     That the NTA be requested to erect a real time sign on the bus stop on Harold’s Cross Road beside Mount Jerome cemetery and opposite Noshingtons.

6.     That an onsite meeting takes place with the Mount Argus Residents’ Association committee with the Parks Department to discuss the management  ...  view the full minutes text for item 6.
