Hello
A fantastic improvement for the deprived and neglected Marksbury Area would be
planting lots of trees along the road- it would of course transform the area
visually and make it appealing rather than monotonous and depressing and grey
as at present, and it would also improve the air quality in this area which is
infamously poor due to it being the bottom of the valley. It would also prevent
drivers from persistently parking on the pavements and forcing pushchairs,
wheelchairs and pedestrians to walk in the road.
While we're at it, a strategically placed selection of Sleeping Policemen would
prevent Marksbury Road from continuing to be both a boy racer rally course and
a rat run.
I feel that Southville actually has quite a few facilities already, and what
with the Marksbury Area Green Space being threatened by a rapid transit route
and resultant further erosion of the quality of the environment in an already
grim area, then Marksbury should be prioritised for community improvement over
other, rather nicer areas... hides behind (skanky) sofa...
Thanks,
Steph Wardle

You are quite right Stephanie, so don't hide! Tree planting where
ever there's room is a great idea and the "grey areas" should be
prioritised for traffic calming such as chicanes with trees out into
the present carriageway at intervals to slow the traffic. Tess

Very Good Points Steph! You are so right that the Marksbury Road area would
be a fantastic recipient of incoming caring and greening! I'm all for that!
