Looks great, Peter. What's the plan for how these junctions are to be used?

On the one hand, they'll help in terms of calming traffic (you often get cars racing down the Gardens roads), and on the other hand they'll provide a visual enhancement and greener environment.  It'll also be easier to close a road off for a day and use it as a play street.

Anyone who thinks one raised table in the middle of a road will stop speeding are deluded.

They will speed half the road to the table, brake and then speed off again.

We need a speed hump top and bottom as well for this to work. I have pleaded with Frontline to include this but they will not.

I should of course add that this is the junction of Chesterfield Gardens and Sussex Gardens, with space for trees already allocated.
