Decision Maker:

(Including Job Title)

Simon Moss, Assistant Director, Planning, Regeneration and Transport

Specific Delegation:

(If any)

The Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment Sub-Scheme of Delegation authorises the Assistant Director - To promote, consider objections to and implement Traffic Regulation Orders under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Brief Description of Decision:

1.    That the comments and objections are noted

2.    A zebra crossing be installed at a location as shown on drawing No 126/17/TT546 (Appendix 2)

3.    Residents are informed of the decision.

Reasons for the Decision:

Following the outcome of statutory public consultation for a crossing (identified in Appendix 1), an alternative location (identified in Appendix 2) for the proposed zebra is recommended following further consultion.

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Two alternative locations for the crossing closer to the junction with Wadsworth Road were considered. These are shown on drawing 126/17/TT546 attached as Appendix 2.

Further informal consultations were undertaken regarding the location marked as “1” on Appendix 2, however the following objections were received: -

·       The proposed crossing is too close to a residential property, which would be affected by the flashing belisha beacons.

·       Drivers exiting Wadsworth Road may not see pedestrians on the crossing.

·       Elderly residents from The Lings would have difficulties crossing Wadsworth Road.

·       Pedestrians on the south side of Wadsworth Road may still not use the crossing, when walking to the Broadlands estate.

 

A further location marked as “2” on Appendix 2 was also investigated, but this was rejected due to the presence of Statutory Undertakers apparatus in the road surface, and a number of large telecoms cabinets located in the grass verge on the east side of Flash Lane.
