I am quite dismayed that although Fortess Road will undoubtedly be impacted by the proposed Dartmouth Park changes, we have not been involved in the council consultation. It appears that their efforts to improve the environment for one set of residents will be detrimental for others, but they haven't included those who will be directly impacted by the extra traffic in the consultation. This just doesn't seem right.
Extra traffic is one thing, but in addition they are proposing significant changes to the road layout which will make life more awkward for residents and businesses on Fortess Road. Deliveries, loading, unloading, care services will all be impacted by a bus lane etc the length of the road.
The council have not even informed us of these proposals, let alone consulted us. This does not seem right. I have queried this with our councillors (2 months ago!), but heard nothing back from them.
