5 March 2025

Thanks to everyone who submitted feedback on this project

We received a total of 105 submissions from two organisations and 103 individuals:

  • Spokes
  • Dallington Residents' Association

What you told us

Common topics raised during consultation were:

Brooker Avenue and Stour Drive
  • Brooker Avenue and Stour Drive should be kept open for access to recreation at Donnell Park, disc golf course, drone racing, cycling and playground use
  • Brooker Avenue and Stour Drive should be closed to prevent anti-social behaviour
  • Gates should be installed at Brooker Avenue and Stour Drive to be closed at night only
Broomfield Terrace
  • Broomfield Terrace provides the best access to reserves and recreation
  • Broomfield Terrace is used as a safer alternative route to Horseshoe Lake Road
  • Closing Broomfield Terrace will create more congestion along Horseshoe Lake Road
  • Closing Broomfield Terrace will move problems to another area rather than stop them
  • Closing Broomfield Terrace may reduce dumping and anti-social behaviour
Hulverstone Drive
  • Convert Chardale Street into a cul-de-sac to enable rubbish truck turning
Cheam Street
  • Cheam Street is not well maintained
  • Cheam Street between Sutton Place and Birchfield Avenue needs repair
  • Road closures could negatively impact property values
  • The section of Cheam Street that remains open will require traffic calming
