Broadstairs & St. Peter’s Town Council is organising a multi-agency action meeting to discuss traffic issues which residents have been raising concerns about.
The meeting aims to put a spotlight on dangerous areas that need changes.
Chair of the Environmental Committee, Cllr Joanne Bright said: “According to Kent County Council data Thanet has the highest number of child pedestrian casualties in Kent and the second highest number of cyclist casualties.
“The Traffic Information Drop-in meeting is a chance for Broadstairs residents to raise concerns about road safety in our town and to flag up traffic hotspots. The Town Council is committed to working towards a safer Broadstairs and this includes safety on our roads.”
Chair of the Council Cllr Mike Garner added : “Whilst the Town Council has finite resources and limited powers in terms of traffic management, we recognise the vital role we can play in bringing together the various partners and agencies with responsibility for our roads and ensuring our residents’ concerns are heard.”
Residents are urged to attend the drop in sessions between 11am-1pm and 2pm-6pm in the Council Chamber, Pierremont Hall, CT10 1JX on Tuesday 27th August.
Town and county councillors, town council officers, Kent Police and other traffic related organisations will attend.
