mace I HAVE been contacted by Mr Ron Jones of Baring Road, who is concerned about the speed of traffic that uses the road. Where he lives, there is In a dip in the road, and getting in and out of his drive is extremely difficult. Another problem is parked cars. Although single lines exist on this part of the road, cars are still parked there. One concern he has is the lark of pavement.
Youngsters from both the high school and Solent Middle walk and, indeed, during cross country runs, go somewhat faster down the road. Mr Jones has fitted mirrors up on the lamp- post opposite his drive, no at least he cen are the oncoming traffic. He has over recent months commted both the police and the local council, but at present without any success. So is the current speed rmriction of 30 mph there adequately signposted? Should double yellow lines be placed off the section of Baring Road leading to Egypt Hill? Perhaps local residents will let me know their views. 26 Fle.wely Velma Ching Snadieet AL.

Because the public normally has no access to the land at Jersey Camp and therefore the countryside there has comparatively few visitors it is possible for it to be managed with careful attention being given to copplang and other conservation measures.
