Summary

In 2015, property owners/occupants of houses on Bexley Crescent were polled to gauge support for the installation of traffic calming (i.e. speed humps). At that time, 33 respondents voted in support of the installation of speed humps and 30 against, but the minimum response rate was not met.

There is renewed interest in the installation of speed humps on this street, with my office having received a petition from residents of Bexley Crescent asking that the proposal for traffic calming be revisited.

As the moratorium to conduct a new poll for speed humps on Bexley Crescent expired in March 2017, the proposal can be reconsidered.
