Railings at top of City Way
There have been numerous incidents over the past couple of years at the top of City Way where vehicles have failed to see / navigate the tight left-hand bend on the access to the Horsted Gyratory and collided with the railings around the traffic island.
Repeated repairs have themselves been subsequently damaged. The ward councillors requested the removal of these railings which seemed to serve little purpose as the crossing points are clearly marked and for reflective posts be provided instead.
The new plastic posts installed stand out better in the dark and are much cheaper and easier to replace in the event of any damage.
