Grafton Area of Major Change SPD 2017

Representation ID: 31980

Received: 03/11/2017

Respondent: Mrs Valarie Mahy

Representation Summary:

- Remove the bollards along City Rd to allow service vehicles access to the shops along Fitzroy Street/Burleigh Street to avoid them having to use Paradise Street and other local roads.
- Access to Paradise Street should only be used for residential uses and not for either deliveries accessing shops along Fitzroy Street/Burleigh Street or for construction purposes.
- Current and future servicing of any new or existing retail uses should avoid residential streets, e.g. Paradise Street. The streets are often blocked by retail service vehicles and construction vehicles having to turnaround to leave the area. These activities block access for local people and create a considerable amount of noise throughout both the day and night.

Grafton Area of Major Change SPD 2017

Respondent: Heather Coleman

Representation Summary:

This whole area was chopped up when the Grafton Centre was built and many public rights of way were entirely privatised. As either a pedestrian or cyclist, the area is confusing and has poor permeability, forcing people to take long detours along often upleasant routes (eg East Road).
