Cllr Colin Rosenstiel doesn't need to wait long to see the rat-run on Burleigh Street

All traders in that part of Burleigh Street have been contacted and have now met Cllr Colin Rosenstiel to discuss their businesses’ needs. “They share our view that this rat-running spoils the street for their customers and others who pass through,” says Colin.

The Lib Dem team now proposes that Burleigh Place becomes the main access for light delivery vehicles, requiring it to be left unblocked. A lockable bollard would be installed in Adam & Eve Street next to the Red Cross shop, which could be temporarily lowered by key holders of the few businesses with large vehicle deliveries.

“We now intend to go into discussions with the County Council,” says Colin. “We hope they will be willing to co-operate on this solution which looks achievable by consent”.
