2025 Survey Results
· At the end of last year, the chair of the County Council’s Highways and Transport Committee told ARERA that, if we want to secure funding for improvements on Arbury Road east, then we need to develop a detailed strategy for doing this.
· Camcycle has offered to help ARERA to do this.
· The survey reported here was conducted as an attempt to begin building a shared set of priorities amongst those who live and work in ARERA’s catchment area for making the road safer.
· The survey was conducted in January/February 2025.
· This report documents its results.
· These show that there is a set of priorities for improvements shared by those who took part in the survey that live directly on Arbury Road east, see page 7 of the attached report.
· There is also another set of priorities shared by those who took part and live on the Havenfield cul de sac, see pages 5 and 6.
· These two sets of priorities differ.
· If a common strategy, shared by all who live in ARERA’s catchment area, is going to be constructed, then ARERA’s committee and the members of the residents’ association need to recognise that they are confronted by what is likely to prove a significant challenge.
· The committee has agreed that building this consensus should be pursued through holding an open consultation meeting later this year with those who live and work in catchment area of the residents’ association.
