Loughborough Junction public space improvements - consultation begins

[bimble]

Yes, I'm going to assume it will appear on the 'live consultations' page, where I'd been told the LJ road scheme would be added weeks ago. I'm amazed Cllr J B her very self replied.

You're lucky, she didn't answer my tweet or my email but then neither has anyone else from the council

Exactly (hence the astonishment) - it's definitely not the first time I've tried..

So we will have 4 days in which to find it and fill it in that's very good NOT
And so far 68 of the onstreet questionnaires of businesses and individuals they meet have been filled in.
NO leaflet has arrived either informing us of the review!
11000 supposed to be sent out by Lambeth just like the last 10991

Look, George promised that it's all happening (last week) they are busy handprinting the 11,000 flyers right now and will be sure to get one through every door before the invisible online questionnaire expires.

They will be frantic in there surely, all manically striving to press the 'upload' button seeing as jenny B herself said the thing would be online by 5.

I *think* someone may have posted this already but can't seem to find it now... the search function throws up a link to a video back in September. Anyway, there seems to be a lot of similarities with the LJ closures... Hundreds protest over ‘Mini-Holland’ cycle-friendly scheme

Look! Here is is .. the official qualitative questionnaire :

Loughborough Junction Temporary Road Closure Consultation Survey

It has just been put online and will apparently close on Friday 6 November.

Completed. Wouldn't say it's the best survey I've ever filled in and why that took them two weeks to sort out I don't know, I put up surveys like that in about 30 mins. Doesn't invite much comment with the teeny tiny boxes and the questions aren't that great either imo. But better than nothing I suppose.

Thanks for finding it Bimble

Have given it to LJ Road Madness and various councillors to circulate, I imagine LJAG will do the same so that it can hopefully have a balance of opinions on there

 

[bimble]

It's laughable. I just completed the thing too, with its mean skinny boxes.

The last page was possibly the worst of all though, the 'what's your ethnicity' bit.
I mean where on earth are they coming from with their restrictive but specific multiple choices, I was forced to choose 'i don't know' because I'm neither Polish nor Portugese.

Between Harris and Howard House on Loughborough Estate, St James's Crescent, Angell Road, Fyfield Road, Minet Road.

Observations from opportunistic fact finding expedition this afternoon (around 4.30pm):

Traffic on Angell Rd, St James's Crescent, Fyfield Rd - quiet, was quite possible to photograph these roads empty of cars (except parked ones) for as far as the eye can see.

Saw a couple of cars ignore the Barrington Rd closure.

I now understand what the cut-through through the estate car park is. There's effectively a bypass to the Barrington Rd closure that runs parallel to it and past Harris/Howard Houses as described above. It's an estate road that serves the car park in between those two buildings. I could see that people were using it to cut through, and it's not at all a suitable road for through traffic. This seems an obvious flaw in the location of the closure point on Barrington Rd. I don't understand why that location was chosen.

I noted traffic count locations on St James Crescent, on Fyfield Rd and on Barrington Rd. Also noticed there's one within the "pedestrian" area on Lougborough Rd. Cars still ignoring that closure too, although not in great volume.

Spotted on way to tescos just now:
Gridlock on CHL at the junction with Loughborough Road.
Police car sirens blazing wants to get into Loughborough Road is sirening away like mad, sat there, but impossible, because of the solid line of vehicles none of which can move out of the way, so it decided to carry on down CHL instead.

Good luck to him trying to find a way through. Still, I suppose no-one's going to nick a police car for going through a no entry.

Yes, how silly of them to leave one way through for people who need to get in or out of the estate.

Surely if you're not one of the specified nationalities, you just fill in the box labelled "Any other white background (please specify)"?!!

Didn't have that box - or did it? Thought I'd looked for that box.
EDIT: Oh you're quite right, it did have the box just not a button for 'any other' which threw me completely.

 

[SpamMisery]

[bimble]

you're right mr misery, I was just confused by the bias towards nationalities beginning with P and because because no button.

 

[SpamMisery]

Yeah, the lack of button doesn't help

Sounds like the ethnicity section is designed to filter out scatterbrains and disregard their opinions

Could be, they saw me coming. Quite enjoyed clicking 'I don't know' though.

You ca also type more into the boxes provided. The text disappears so not great for reviewing. You could copy and paste. Not sure if there is a limit on text but i'm sure someone here will find one.

Yes, you can, but when you make a survey using that (simple & free) survey writing program they've used, you can choose whether to give people one line or a nice box of whatever size to write in. They chose badly.

SP did bid for this and they WON... reputation at stake here.
