Dear Resident

Walker Lane, Wheldrake – Consultation for One-Way Street

We are writing to you because we received a representation from a resident, asking for the Council to review the Traffic Management arrangements for Walker Lane, due to the available road width and damage that has been caused to private property.

The Council is proposing a One-Way direction of travel in Walker Lane to help ease the concerns of the residents, who have had property damaged due to two-way travel.

We are proposing to introduce a One-Way direction of travel on Walker Lane to improve road safety and avoid conflicts of vehicles travelling in opposite directions in the Lane.  We are asking all households with a frontage on to Walker Lane if they would be in favour of the proposal and if they have a preference for the direction of travel.

Consultation documents

The following information and documents are enclosed:

1. A ballot form

2. A Freepost Envelope

We can only accept one ballot sheet from each household.  Please complete and return to us in the Freepost envelope provided by the 11^th August 2023.

If you prefer you can email your response to highway.regulation@york.gov.uk you will need to give all the information we have asked for on the ballot sheet, including your name and address.

Because your preference will determine whether we take this proposal forward and initiate the legal process to amend the Traffic Regulation Order, to introduce a One-Way direction of travel in Walker Lane, it is important that you either return your ballot or email your response as outlined above.  

We will write to you again when the results of the consultation process are known and let you know what will happen next.

Please contact me on 01904 552616 or email highway.regulation@york.gov.uk if you:

· Require any further information or clarification

· Want to discuss any special needs/circumstances that you believe would be disadvantaged by the introduction of a One-Way direction of travel

· Details of landlords for rented properties

Yours faithfully
