Simon Moss

Assistant Director – Regeneration & Environment

Details of Specific Cabinet Delegation

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

The 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.

Decision:

Approval of the proposal to reduce the speed limit at various roads, Greasbrough to 20 mph & Install Road Humps at Church Street & Coach Road.

Reasons for the Decision:

To enable the implementation of a 20mph speed limit with some traffic calming measures at various roads within Greasbrough. To assist in the reduction of the incidence or likelihood of injury & non injury road traffic collisions taking place. The measures will also reduce traffic speeds to a level commensurate with the proposed lower 20mph speed limit.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

A 20mph speed limit without any additional traffic calming was originally considered but traffic surveys identified that speeds would be too high along sections of Church Street and Coach Road to accord with the guidance from the Department for Transport regarding setting local speed limits. Other roads proposed to be 20mph already have speeds commensurate with the proposed new speed limit.
