What we are doing
We need to set up some temporary video cameras at various locations, including:
• Newcastle Road and Whitmore/ Trentham Road junction
• South of Hanchurch roundabout/ start of Newcastle Road
• North verge of A500
• North of Hanchurch roundabout/ start of Clayton Road
• Opposite the footpath linking Clayton Road and Melville Court.
The cameras will face the highway and will help us calculate traffic and pedestrian counts. We will use this information to help us inform the design of the junction widening work.
How will this affect you?
We will attach the cameras securely to existing lampposts/ signposts first thing in the morning. We will leave them in place for one day before removing them the following morning. To maintain your privacy, we have taken every effort to ensure that the position and direction of the cameras prevents them from filming of private residences. We will install the cameras using the existing footpaths/ crossings and will not need to put any additional traffic management measures in place.
You may see our operatives installing the cameras and taking them down. We will make sure that we do this as safely as possible without affecting pedestrians’ journeys.
