‘Rat-run’ gates?
Hi, just a quick query - I’d heard that the SS was coordinating input regarding the location of a possible gate in the lane between the East end of Nithsdale Road and Regent Park Square, and was looking for input on this. I’d like to say that if this is the case, my preference would go for the north end of that lane rather than the south. The reason is simple - I have lived at the top of the flat that constitutes part of the gable wall on the west side of that lane for over ten years. This gable wall is the only one that sits on the border of the lane - the others (at both ends of the lane) sit back a few metres. Whenever a vehicke travels down the lane, the vibrations travel directly up the wall, causing the cupboards to shake and the glass to chink. There is also a fracture in that gable wall which is causing water ingress to the tenement block - whether or not it was caused by that lane being used as a ‘rat-run’, this usage is certainly exacerbating the problem.
Hope this is useful - and thanks for your time.
