Issue - decisions

Resolved: That the Executive Member notes the results of the experimental traffic regulation order at Low Poppleton Lane and:

(i)            approves the making permanent of the experimental traffic regulation order to retain the current bus only restriction enforced by the ANPR camera.

Reason: To maintain the reduction in traffic on Low Poppleton Lane with a continuation of enforcement with the current ANPR system. 

(ii)      requests that officers investigate options to develop a scheme to allow all traffic (with the exception of HGVs) to use Low Poppleton Lane between 19:00 and 07:00 hours 7 days a week, which would require the widening of the road, with a view to then implementing an alternative traffic restriction following the permanent TRO process.

Reason: To respond to views of Ward Members that all vehicles (with the exception of HGVs) should be allowed access through the restriction until such time as Low Poppleton Lane may be closed once alternative access through the British Sugar site development becomes available.
