Local residents and the Friends of Bury Lodge Park have been calling for action to address a traffic island which has seen many accidents.
The accidents seem to peak during the summer when the sun is low in the sky combined with many cars parking alongside Bury Lodge Park.
I have raised this issue many times with the Council on the need for action and requested site visits – all to no avail so far. This matter has been escalated to a senior Director.
Last weekend saw a spate of accidents including one car reportedly being written off. Many are rightly concerned that it is only a matter of time before someone is injured or worse.
A nearby traffic island (on the same road) has a lit lamppost and blue arrow sign, I have asked why the traffic island does not.
Additionally I asked the Council to clear-up the accident damage (glass/plastic) on the road, oil and repair the traffic island.
Personally on one of the many site visits I have conducted, a car nearly lost car control right in front of me. It is a real concern that if matters are not resolved then we could see someone injured or worse.
Rest assured I will continue to press Enfield Council for action with the local community.
