Residents to be informed of the decision

Reasons for the Decision:

The report considers the outcome of consultations regarding  the implementation of a 20mph zone – B6066 Rotherham Road, Main Street and adjacent roads, Catcliffe, Rotherham.

 

The proposal has been developed as part of the Local Neighbourhoods Road Safety (LNRS) project, based on submissions for road safety and traffic management improvements in the Rother Vale Ward. This followed receipt of requests from Ward Members and residents.

 

No objections to the proposal were received.

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Do nothing –

 

Doing nothing was not recommended as it would not align with the submission made by local ward members to the Local Neighbourhood and Road Safety Scheme fund.

 

Limited intervention: -

This was not recommended. This option would introduce a 20mph speed limit solely on B6066 Rotherham Road in the vicinity of Catcliffe Primary School. While this would provide some localised benefit, it is not recommended due to the short length of road involved. Implementing a limited section of reduced speed would be less effective, could lead to inconsistent driver behaviour, and would not provide the wider community safety benefits of a more comprehensive approach.
