Just a few things that I have had no success with despite writing several letters to the Council. Perhaps you will have more luck.
I had explained about the heavy lorry traffic coming off the A1 through Merlin Drive and often knocking over the bollard by the shop. Sometimes they realise that they have gone wrong and turn round by backing into Osprey Close and then attempting to get out by the shop, that is usually when they knock over the bollard.
I have asked several times for a notice coming off of the A1 before they get to the roundabout for Merlin Drive to say RESIDENTIAL NO HGV's EXCEPT DELIVERIES. This may have the effect of detering some of them and reducing the risk of accident.
