How can we prevent drivers using our cul-de-sac to turn around? The Council refuse to do anything.
Our very narrow cul-de-sac houses elderly residents only. The Council who own the road refuse to do anything about the daily traffic problems we have to endure. Drivers mount the one pavement to drive to the end of the cul-de-sac to do a tight turn around then drive back up the pavement. The noise from anti-social drivers detrimentally affects our daily lives. Our petition has fallen on deaf ears with the Council. Do we have any rights, and where can we go from here? The Housing Association who own our property say they can do nothing because they don't own the road. All the residents are over 60 and older some very ill.
Legally you could seek to challenge the Council's decision in the Courts but this is a complex and expensive procedure, which may well not succeed. You should consider complaining to your MP and involving the local press to put pressure on the Council.
