The Council plans to resurface part of Stockhole lane south of the junction with Baskin Lane. I have made the following observation in response to the public consultation on the temporary closure:

If we are to achieve the necessary improvement in conditions for walking and cycling to achieve national and local goals for road safety and climate, we need to ensure that that all maintenance and repair work on roads avails of the opportunity to improve conditions for active travel.

In this instance, the road to be resurfaced lacks a footpath over most of the stretch to be resurfaced and is unpleasant for cycling. The M1 motorway and R139, R132 and R107 regional roads provide alternatives for all potential through trips. Therefore there is no reason for this road to be used by motor vehicles for anything other than local access to/from Stockhole and Baskin Lanes. 

In these circumstances, the road layout should reflect this purpose and be designed to prioritise active travel access. These examples from the Netherlands  http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2009/07/country-road.html and France https://actu.fr/occitanie/villeneuve-la-comptal_11430/aude-une-voie-innovante-ou-les-velos-ont-la-priorite-dans-un-village-du-lauragais_49069204.html show the road markings appropriate in these circumstances.

Update December 2023:

While I didn’t make any progress when the lane was being resurfaced, I raised this again and the Area Committee agreed the following motion in December 2023:

That this Committee recommends that, in light of previous discussions when
the southern part of Stockhole Lane (between the R139 roundabouts and Baskin
Lane) was being resurfaced, and the recent large number of residents moving
into Stockhole Lane who walk or cycle to avail of local services, that the Council
examines the options to improve safety for people walking and cycling including
reallocating road space, consistent with the function of this road as a local
access route rather than a through route for motor traffic.
