Comments under the "Junction A591" category
- The junction needs sorting at A591, a roundabout if possible. The holdups through village are worse now with the mini roundabout. Take it out and reverse traffic in Beech Street. Remove the bend outside Sharps which pushes the S bound traffic out into the other lane, dangerous when a lorry. Parking - why not have disc parking, like Ambleside does. Respond
- Parking - we should have cheaper parking. For residents or free even for the Windermere Community. Transport - why do we have this silly expensive electronic sign at the bottom of Bannerigg surely people can see the bends ahead. The new enhanced Crescent Road is a complete disaster. Respond
- Windermere station roundabout - one minute you say there's not enough room for a roundabout and then you say there is not enough money. Which is it? Respond
- A591 junction - buses unable to turn adequately into bus station. Often gets stuck because of traffic coming out of station. Not enough turning space without driving over 'pavement'. Respond
- New layout at A591 junction - has blind spots for motorists when turning at top of High Street on to A591 to Kendal. Signs are in line of vision. Respond
- Traffic issues on A591! Mini-roundabout useless - causes traffic queues and likely to cause accident re 'right of way' at roundabout. Respond
- Are the lights on Ambleside Road ever going to be turned on or has it been realised they'll cause more congestion? Respond
- Safe crossing areas for school children, Park Road, Park Avenue, Fire Station area. Parking on corners of roads at busy junctions. Priority at new roundabout must be given to the Kendal side. Lights at Trout beck Bridge should be timed for busy periods to get traffic away. Respond
- Improvement plans for Ellerthwaite Square. To slow traffic entering Windermere and improve the environs. Get the Pedestrian crossing lights on Ambleside Road working ASAP. Respond
- New road top side of information centre to take traffic to and from Booths. Relieving the need for traffic to come through the village i.e new roundabout. Respond
- Create access from Booths exit directly onto A591. Respond
- Free parking in car parks to encourage car park use rather than street parking. Remove tactile paving, cobbles across the roads which look like pavements. A591 junction problem. Respond
- We need a roundabout on the A591. Vans should be fined if they park on pavements. A smooth, quiet road surface is needed on main roads through villages. Respond
- Need for a sign indicating change of priorities at miniroundabout outside Queen's. Encouragement to people to use car park in Windermere (Broad Street). Reasonable residents permits? Free short term (1 hour) to counteract street parking. Persuade stage coach to lower fares so people will use buses. Proper provision of a connection between Braithwaite Fold Car Park and Bowness to encourage parking there. Discourage parking on Birthwaite Road. Only allow buses to exit from station yard across the traffic exiting Windermere. All other vehicles to go down Victoria Street and round miniroundabout. Respond
- To aleviate congestion at the Queens Hotel roundabout, reinstate the right hand turn from Main Road to Crescent Road at Lighthouse Restaurant, this reducing the volume of traffic on the roundabout. Why have we still got traffic bollards on Kendal Road. We were promised that the enhancement scheme had to be completed by Easter otherwise funding would be lost. It is now nearly October, has funding run out, we were informed a short while ago that there is a snag? Could you please be honest about the situation and tell us what the snag is. Pedestrian crossing to Church Street, Ambleside Road. Installed about 6 months ago, but still under covers, what is the situation, another snag, can we have an update an honest answer to the embarrassing situation. Respond
- Take away mini roundabout at bottom of Victoria Street. More Free parking. No traffic lights on A591. Respond
- Problems with parking along Rayrigg Road (Bowness end) causing congestion and obstructions, double yellow lines needed, Pedestrian crossing areas in Crescent Road need to be removed and replaced by smooth tarmac road surface. A591 junction needs totally revising - entry and exit across traffic entering village is dangerous and will cause accidents. Local residents should get 1 hour free parking in Broad Street car park to encourage use of local shops. Respond
- The A591 junction - eliminate right turn out of station car park. Make Elleray Road one-way to minimise congestion at Lighthouse junction. Respond
- Queues to get into Windermere from A591 and Booths since mini roundabout. Since more cars parked outside houses - 2-way traffic on some streets quite difficult. Suggest 1-way system around Thornthwaite and Limethwaite for instance. Respond
