Decision details

Purpose of Report: To seek approval to proceed with the proposed danger reduction scheme.

The report will detail development of a danger reduction scheme on Heslington Lane, including consultation responses.

The Executive Member is asked to approve the scheme including advertisement of the necessary speed limit order.

Resolved: That Option (ii) be approved.

Implement the scheme as detailed in Annex A and B, but remove the lighting column opposite Holmefield Lane from the proposals. Also advertise the required speed limit and order with implementation to follow if no substantive objections are received. Any objections will be reported back to the Executive Member for a final decision.

Reason: To reduce the risk of road users colliding with the chicane which in turn reduces ongoing maintenance costs to the council. To improve the existing zebra crossing to better accommodate cycle users and improve the lighting for all users.
