Right of Way After lobbying
from the Association and from the Friends of Muir Wood Park, we are pleased
to report that the City of Village Signs The Village
Association in conjunction with the Juniper Green 300 group has been working
to get Village Signs in place for Juniper Green and Baberton Mains and these
are the final designs. It should be noted that the colours displayed here are
subtly different to the actual colours. This is a limitation of Photoshop and
computer screen displays. The signs will be made of retro-reflective material
which enhances colour definition in poor light conditions.
Unfortunately,
bureaucratic intransigence by a Council official means we are unable to have
the new signs erected at this time. We have been told that the designs do not
fully comply with the minutiae of road signs regulations and in an email on
the subject a Council official stated “As previously discussed Baberton Mains
is a housing suburb and not a recognized village and
therefore permission will not be given to erect village boundary signs for
Baberton Mains”. The item below on Community Councils shows what
nonsense this is. Detail
is given of the area defined for the Juniper Green Community Council area
(should it ever be established) in the form of a map. This
shows that the proposed Juniper Green CC area includes all of Baberton Mains.
Whilst one Council official dismisses Baberton Mains as a “housing suburb” it
appears that the Council officially recognise it as a community with Juniper
Green! If you would like to lend your support to having these signs erected
please email us at post@junipergreen.org.uk . We
intend to take the matter up with the Pentlands
Neighbourhood Partnership and get their support to make this great local
initiative happen. The Partnership exists to bring decision making closer to
the community and provide opportunities for communities to express their
views. We shall report further on whether this happens. |
