@saveasteadingthe 20mph is definitely ignored. We have asked for traffic calming previously but I think unless there is an accident t won’t be a priority. At the moment it’s a load of near misses and people beeping their horns at you because you are walking on the road- haven’t really got a choice not to as there is no pavement…

@Onoff that is the question..the first of the four houses has flat front and parks car. Our old neighbours started flattening their front ( he just built a retaining wall) before they moved. But our is a lot more elevated. I’ve added a pic - hopefully not inverted- which shows another view. @prodave- at the time it didn’t seem an issue, I was moving for my job, and there wasn’t a huge amount of choice in my price range…and the road has become increasingly busy the last 10 years.

Advice very much appreciated - my partner is insisting that there is no way we can convert the front of the house into a driveway. I think it will be difficult- we are directly on the road and the front is elevated/ on a slope. We will probably need planning permission and some structural work/ retaining wall, but neither of us are professionals so knowledge is limited. as can hopefully see from pics, the house is directly on a road. It is a row of 4 houses, with each house frontage becoming increasingly elevated as the road goes downhill. At the moment have to park up the road, and the increase in traffic going at breakneck speed makes the walk to/from the car quite an adventure ( especially in the winter).
