SHRA began as a group of residents resisting a major road scheme.  Since then, we have become involved in numerous issues where parking/CPZs and traffic flow affect residents.  In 2022, we decided to appoint a Committee member to take a particular interest in roads and transport.  In line with its environmental concerns, SHRA has been supportive of the 20mph limits and the concept of the 20-minute neighbourhood.  Our thinking on roads and transport prioritises the pedestrian, cyclist and user of public transport over the motorist.

The objectives of our roads and transport strategy are:

• To identify transport problems and to improve the travelling environment for all.
• To work with Network Rail, the operating company and residents to improve Strawberry Hill station.
• To liaise with Ward councillors to tackle infrastructure problems and proposed changes.
• To identify and address problems arising from increasingly diverse road and pavement use.

We welcome residents contacting us about road and transport issues (contact@shra.org.uk), but encourage them also to use the Council’s mechanisms for reporting issues such as pot holes.
