16/04/2025 - Tickhill Road, Maltby - Speed Limit Amendment

 

ROTHERHAM METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL

 

RECORD OF OFFICER EXECUTIVE DECISION

 

Date of Decision:

15th April 2025

 

Title:

Tickhill Road, Maltby - Speed Limit Amendment

 

Decision Maker:

(Including Job Title)

Simon Moss

Assistant Director, Planning, Regeneration and Transport 

 

Details of Specific Cabinet Delegation

or Delegation contained in the relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.

 

To promote, consider objections to and implement Traffic Regulation Orders under the Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

 

Decision:

The key recommendation of the report is to continue with the making of the orders for the proposal.

 

Reasons for the Decision:

There is a risk that without implementing the proposed speed limit extension to better reflect the road environment, drivers may not reduce their speed to an appropriate level, as they travel along this section of Tickhill Road, with the potential for a collision to increase.

 

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Do nothing and keep the existing length of 40/50mph speed limit as it currently is. 

 

This option is not being promoted as this would not have the desired effect of improving the road safety environment on this section of Tickhill Road, where there is a proposed new residential development that is currently under construction.

 

Conflicts of interest declared by any Cabinet Member consulted by the decision maker which relates to the decision:

None

Dispensations Granted:

(If any)

None

Reports or parts of reports considered

None

 

I certify that this is a true record of the executive decision to consider an extension to the existing 40mph speed limit by approximately 130m on Tickhill Road, Maltby, and to continue with the making of the order for the proposal.
