Origin
Summary
In 2016, property owners/occupants of houses on Liscombe Road where polled to gauge support for the installation of speed humps. At that time, 22 respondents voted against the installation of speed humps and 19 in support.
There has been a renewed interest in the installation of speed humps on this street.
As the moratorium to conduct a new poll for speed humps on Liscombe Road expired in October 2018, the proposal for speed humps can be reconsidered.
