Purpose

 
The purpose of this proposal is
to introduce a No Waiting At Any Time restriction around the
crossroad junction of New Street, Gorsey Lane, High Street and
Smithy Lane to ensure that there is sufficient unobstructed space
for vehicles to manoeuvre; safer locations for pedestrian movements
and protecting the sight lines from the junctions.
 
The proposals form part of a
s278 Agreement under the Highways Act 1980 as part of a new housing
development off Gorsey Lane which will increase traffic and
pedestrian movements along New Street, Gorsey Lane, High Street and
Smithy Lane
 
Consultations
Formal consultation was carried
out between 5 December-2023 and 2 January-2024 which included
advertising in the local press and notices being displayed on site.
Divisional county councillors were consulted along with the
council's usual consultees and the consultation documents posted on
the council's website.
 
Following formal consultation
one objection was received from Mawdsley Parish Council on the
grounds that the scheme is totally out of keeping with the rural
environment in which it is planned as outlined in Appendix
'C'.
