Brief Description of Decision:

The area proposed at Listerdale to be subject of a speed limit reduction was suggested as part of the Neighbourhood Road Safety Schemes Programme fund round 1. The area is predominantly residential, except for the local shopping centre situated at the Bawtry Road service road. This area forms a locus for residents utilising these facilities and accessing nearby public transport. The 20mph limit will better reflect and indicate to users the speed at which it is safer to travel throughout this area.

2.    The Assistant Director of Legal Services to prepare the draft Order and notices.

3.    The proposals to be advertised.

4.    The Order to be made subject to be there being no objections received.

5.    If any objections are received, a further report will be prepared in relation to these objections and this report will be considered by the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Following the receipt of a submission to the Neighbourhood Road Safety Schemes Programme Fund by Elected Members to reduce the speed limit within the Listerdale Estate.  Traffic and speed surveys have been undertaken to progress the submission made.
