I would just like to add that although everyone suffers on the school runs, Hamilton Gardens is nothing more than a massive headache to many parents doing the school run and those that are residents that have to avoid going out or coming home and certain times. It has been noted that several residents of Hamilton gardens have had permission for drop kerbs, this is now causing even more chaos as of course less available places to park vehicles. I sit most days for at least 15 mins in that road whilst everyone figures out where and how we can all move as vehicles are continuously either coming up or down the road at the same time. May i suggest a simple solution that may make this stem of regular traffic flow much easier is to make the road one way at the bottom of Hamilton leading to Plumberow school from the first cornhill avenue entrance, this would divert oncoming traffic to the school without causing congestion right outside the school gates leaving children at risk from reversing cars. Also may i suggest parking to be alternated each month to what side of the road to park, this would then enable easier parking and maximising available spaces. This road has to contend with both Greensward and Plumberow.
