Residents took issue with a traffic calming scheme which would have caused problems on a 'nightmare' road
An application for traffic calming measures described as ‘a kick in the teeth to local residents’ has been rejected by Oldham council. The scheme would have seen speed cushions; a narrowed lane; and a raised junction introduced on Haven Lane, Moorside , as part of a housing development.
Ward councillor Josh Charters told the planning committee: “People are sick of having things done to them without them having any say. Residents who have gotten in touch with me were really concerned about how these plans came from nowhere. They were concerned about parking and noise and access to the roads.”The plans were drawn up by Oldham council’s Highways Department and the developers.
But Wendy Cash, who lives right next to the development plot, told the LDRS the roads were already ‘a nightmare’.
