The purpose of this report is to consider a petition by 29 residents of Mill Lane Heworth requesting that the Council take action to dramatically reduce traffic into Mill Lane Heworth.

Resolved:  That Option 1 be approved-

To carry out a vehicle count/speed survey and undertake diffusion tube monitoring prior to construction of the new link road and again within 12 months after completion at a cost of £1250.

Reason:    To gauge the current number and speed of vehicles using the highway. To also obtain air quality information for Mill Lane. This information can then be used to identify any changes that may be required once the new link road is completed.
