Councillor Sowerby - Netherlands Road Width Restriction Barrier

Councillor Teare - Traffic calming on Hadley, Clifford and Woodville

 

Councillor Weeden-Sanz stated that he lived near this location.

 

Councillor Teare introduced his item and requested that any survey work be performed outside of school holidays and when roadworks had finished.

 

The Committee also heard representations from local residents Paul Clark and Dan Hamilton, who outlined residents’ concerns and preferred solutions as well as photographic evidence.

 

Highways Officers explained that the preferred option of a speed table was outside the financial remit of the committee which could only fund schemes up to £25,000. It was noted that Potters Road speed table, which had been LIP funded, had cost £75,000. The option of speed humps was discussed but Officers stated that these would very likely cost over £25,000 as they would need to be introduced in all three roads.  

 

Officers suggested that the speed table option be added to the list of Highways schemes requiring LIP funding in the next financial year.

 

RESOLVED that Officers be requested to add this request to the LIP funding list and confirm that it has been added with Councillor Teare.
