Purpose

 
The
purpose of this proposal is to support the Town 2 Turf area
improvement scheme, primarily the route along Harry Potts Way and
Yorkshire Street, between Turf Moor football ground and Burnley
Town Centre.
 
This
proposal seeks to improve vehicular movements in the area with
regards buses and promoting the use of local public transport by
extending the one-way system around the bus station, including
Yorkshire Street, Croft Street and Red Lion Street towards
Centenary Way.
 
The
Order includes the following:
 

Confirmation of the existing No Left Turn from Centenary Way
northbound onto Red Lion Street and a new No Right Turn restriction
from Centenary Way southbound onto Red Lion Street. This is to
ensure the new one-way restriction on Red Lion Street onto
Centenary Way can be signed appropriately at the signals as that
section of Red Lion Street was previously two-way.

 
 

The
introduction of No U-Turn restrictions on all approaches of the
junctions of Centenary Way with Red Lion Street as well as
Centenary Way with Church Street and Yorkshire Street. This is to
prevent U-turn movements at these junctions following the removal
of the roundabout at the junction of Centenary Way and Yorkshire
Street, and to ensure there is no conflict between vehicles and
pedestrians at the new and revised signals at these
junctions.

 

Confirmation of the existing the one-way systems which have been
present on Albert Street and Eastham Place since at least 2009.
This is to ensure these restrictions can be enforced
effectively.

 
Consultations
Formal consultation was carried out between 6 September-2024 and
4 October-2024 which included frontagers to the proposed location
of the Bus Stop being notified 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 No Objections were
received.
