Who do I speak to about making changes to road signage?

Hoping someone can help here.I live on Berrymead Gardens, which is meant to be a one way street.We get about several people per day turning off the high st and going the wrong way down the street.Most people don't know they are doing it (although that doesn't stop them from abusing people who point it out to them, however politely).There needs to be a change to the signage and maybe a bollard or barrier put up to make left hand turns (off the high st into Berrymead) more difficult.I am guessing it is someone at the council, but does anyone have a specific person, email or phone number I can use?Many thanks.

Hi James.  I don't know the names but initially it would be your Ward Councillors (South Acton I believe?)  You could also contact the Transport dept via Customer Services at the Council.  I would do so by email so there's a paper trail.  Good luck.

James.  I was talking to Mik Sabiers, one of the South Acton councillors, and he said that they have agreed to beef up the signage at the top of Berrymead Gardens to try and stop people entering from the high street.  I don't think thay have yet got a date on when it is going to be done.

Presumably they are committing some sort of offence.  I'd contact the local community police, who could lay in wait and catch those responsible red-handed.

Same problem in Milton Road: frequent offenders(including even people living in the road,believe it or not!)who are somewhat abusive when their error is politely pointed out to them.Problem is that the signs at the bottom are too far apart and not immediately visible.

This is promising.I know it is a real problem in other areas of Acton too, but I see it pretty much constantly on Berrymead- twice today for instance.
