BCCT Survey on M2 Kirkham Road Bridge RESULTS

The results quoted below are copied straight off the BCCT blog (BCCT2119.blogspot.com).

"The survey being conducted by the Beecroft Cheltenham Civic Trust is still open for entries, but interim results are very clear.

96% AGAINST full closure of the bridge (92% "STRONGLY DISAGREED". Another 4% "DISAGREED")

85% AGAINST Tidal Flow (AM one way PM the other). (64% "STRONGLY DISAGREED". Another 21% "DISAGREED")

59% IN FAVOUR of traffic light control alternate directions. (41% "AGREED". Another 18% "STRONGLY AGREED") "

The survey included comments by contributors, and they make interesting reading. Regarding the "Traffic Light Control Alternate Directions, the overwhelming comment is "better than the alternatives."

A lot of the comments relate to the need for 22 months with one lane closed, if the reason for that closure is just to widen the spans. People are beginning to ask if this is a furphy, and are wondering whether the closure is being imposed on residents to suit the convenience of the Project!
