We wrote to residents in Windsor Avenue, in July 2020 about the proposed road rehabilitation of each of these streets, as the road condition is reaching the end of its life.

Community Engagement Overview

We consulted with local residents for a period of 3 weeks, seeking views on challenges and opportunities in the street which would assist develop a concept plan, should it be required. We received 9 written responses during the consultation period.

We heard the following key comments;

•Improvement to the verges (landscaping) and trees to fit in with the heritage of the area
•Pave the footpaths
•Extend the project along whole length of Windsor Avenue
•Parking is an issue when there is table tennis operating
•Lighting improvements
•Repair kerb and gutter as stormwater is ponding
