Report by Director for Infrastructure Delivery (CMDE6).
Murcott Road is long and straight with good visibility approaching the village which
means that traffic has a tendency to exceed the existing speed limit of 30mph
as it approaches the residential part of the village. With new development
extending the village along the Murcott Road it was
felt that some traffic calming measures would be appropriate to extend the
already existing series of buildouts. The report considers responses
received to a statutory consultation on proposals to install a traffic calming
build-out on the Murcott Road at Arncott,
approximately 20 metres south-west of
its junction with The Village Close.
The
Cabinet Member for Environment is RECOMMENDED to approve proposals to install a
traffic calming build-out on the Murcott Road at Arncott, approximately 20 metres south-west of its junction with The Village Close as
advertised.
Decision:
Approved
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for
Environment considered responses received on a proposal to install an
additional traffic calming build-out on the Murcott Road at Arncott,
approximately 20 metres south-west of
its junction with The Village Close. Murcott Road is long and straight with good
visibility approaching the village and so traffic can exceed the existing speed
limit of 30mph as it approached the residential part of the village. That,
along with new development extending the village along the Murcott Road,
prompted this further installation which extends the already existing series of
buildouts.
Referring to the 2 objections received Mr Wasley advised that moving the
installation would merely mean that it would then go outside other properties, add
significantly to the cost and make it less satisfactory from a road safety
point of view due to lighting issues and proximity to roadside junctions.
Having regard to the information set out in the report before her
and the submissions made to her by
officers at the meeting with regard to lighting and side road issues the
Cabinet Member for Environment confirmed her decision as follows:
to approve proposals to install a traffic calming build-out on the Murcott Road at Arncott, approximately 20 metres south-west of its junction with The Village Close as advertised.
