Cars parked in front of car showroom would obstruct vision of pedestrians.

During deliveries the road is complete chaos.  Pedestrians on a crossing would be in extreme danger.

Positioning the crossing so close to a crossroads would cause tail-backs, creating further dangers at the crossroads.	
The installation of a crossing is likely to make this situation safer.  The presence of zig-zags will limit the extent of parking, allowing better visibility of the crossing point and drivers be able to see the signals and will be able to stop.

The use of a crossing would bring more order to this situation.  The control of traffic by signals will make the situation safer for pedestrians.

The crossing is in excess of 45m from the crossroads, which complies with guidance for the location of crossings.  To move the site further south would provide difficulties as it would be outside the car showroom.  Relocating the crossing still further south, or north of the crossroads would take it out of the pedestrian desire line, thus limiting its use.

59 Peppard Road	Yes	The scheme, will increase safety for the many schoolchildren and parents crossing the road.	This is the objective of the scheme.	
3.	Resident
5 Brinds Close	?	No objection to crossing but concerned that “flashing lights” would be seen from rooms in the property.
	The lights would be standard traffic signals, which are directed at approaching traffic.  It is unlikely that properties at the side of the road will see the lights.	
4.	Thames Valley Police	?	No street lighting at present.

Overhanging trees may restrict visibility.	Local lighting will be considered as part of the detail design and Safety Audit process but would be an additional cost.

Any obstruction to visibility will be removed and the Area Engineer informed that growth should be monitored and visibility maintained.
