samara jones-hall1 month ago Pavements shared between cyclists/ skateboarder, e-scooters, scooters and pedestrians whether by allocation or by use are incredibly dangerous. I have been nearly hit a number of times by cyclists. I have been hit from behind by a skateboarder and e-scooters come frighteningly close. For most healthy adults, a normal walking speed is about 3 miles per hour (mph), which equals roughly 4.8 kilometers per hour. Anyone travelling or is capable travelling faster than 5 mph should use the road or a designated lane. We cannot as pedestrians be expected to wear a helmet or body armour when out walking.

samara jones-hall1 year ago King street has many empty shops some with incredible old facades. It is also the route for residents of Eastcliff, Dumpton and Montefiore wards to walk through to the town centre.It would make an incredible Makers Quarter similar to the Creative Quarter of Folkestone and the Old Town of Margate. There are already large number of SME crafters and makers in Ramsgate working at different scales. So it is something we can grow! It is a UK growing industry with potential for a community for residents and visitors. In addition to economic growth. It is also something to build on with the Teenage markets and youth business skills.

samara jones-hall2 years ago Strategic Priority 5 of the Local Plan requires TDC to deliver the infrastructure required to support existing communities and new development, in particular to promote development patterns and behaviour that will minimise the need to travel or use private cars to access services and amenities and to facilitate provision of direct walking and cycling routes to reduce potential congestion, noise and pollution.A direct walking route is an existing pavement. To take away existing pavements from walkers for use by cars is in direct contravention of Strategic Priority 5 of the Local Plan (adopted). I object to pavement parking.

samara jones-hall2 years ago The roads and streets in Ramsgate are very narrow and/or narrow in part. This has meant that in places cars park part on the road/ street and part on the pavement. Many of the pavements are also very narrow and/or narrow. This has a significant impact to house owners - it has hard to get in and out of your house as often cars are parked so high up on the pavement that it blocks access to and from your house.It means that vehicular access is limited and it is hard for emergency services and rubbish collection to access properties. It means that emergency services access to houses is restricted.It means that it is very hard to walk on the pavement which pushes walkers, disabled persons and pushchairs on to the road and to streets. Frequently I end up walking on the road because the pavement is full of cars! On bin collection days it is often very hard to actually put your bin out as cars are parked so high up on the pavement in front of our house.Further, the roads and streets of Ramsgate are full of pot holes. Cars parking on the pavement creates further damage. This is a significant strain on a cash strapped council. I object to pavement parking.
