Well if Lottery case manager does come read this , this is for her/ him.
Garden is lovely, worth every penny spent on it. However those original plans were drawn up before there was so much traffic on our roads. Before dropped curbstones, before mobility scooters and definately before the population was so HUGE. Thats a busy area and a very busy junction opposite, theres a lot to 'look at' before actually exiting that track to start with.Its simply not worth risking an accident for whats probably a minimal cost to just relocate the entrance. In fact its probably cheaper than someone being sued later on if there is an accident.The fact its on an incline speeds up scooters, kids on bikes, even a pedestrian, shrubs will also block the view eventually.I'm a mum of 2 kids, and step mum to 3 little girls also, I know we need eyes in the backs of our heads already, having an exit that leads onto a track that vehicles use is just not a good idea. I've also been a carer, and know the speeds our lovely old folk like to reach on the scooters.
Take another look at it,WITHOUT thinking about a budget.Difficult I know because everyone works to a budget nowadays, but try to see it as an outsider and see what dangers there really are.
