Dear Editor

May we protest on behalf of our Stoneycroft residents at the second attempt by the Highways Department to close the central reservation on Queens Drive by Moscow Drive.

Several years the highways manager made the same proposition and it was overwhelmingly rejected by local residents who rightly contested why they should have their journey distances substantially added to.

So why are public funds being wasted on a second consultation on the same topic only a few years later.

Even more troubling is that only half the residents who would have been directly effected by the Queens Drive closure were consulted, this negligence is not acceptable !

This is from a highways department who have repeatedly failed to take steps to reduce congestion at Tuebrook roundabout over many years.

This is from a Highways department that have consistently failed to tackle the high levels of collisions at the junction of Lisburn Lane with Knoclaid Road despite our representations

As local councilors we were not consulted over this second attempt to impose a closure of Queens Drive central reservaton, however upon hearing from our local residents we have made our objections in the strongest terms known to the officers concerned
