Purpose

This proposal are being pursued as part of a
Section 278 Agreement under the Highways Act 1980 as part of a new
development which will introduce further traffic movements. These
proposals are being funded by Section s278 monies deposited by the
developer and linked to the adjacent housing development.

A new access is to be constructed onto Main Road Galgate. In order
to reduce the speed of vehicles approaching the new junction the
30mph speed limit location requires relocating northwards.

The purpose of this proposed order is to reduce the 50mph speed
limit along Main Road reverting the section of road around the new
access to 30mph by virtue of street lighting.

Consultations
Formal consultation was carried out between 25 April-2025 and 23

consulted along with the council's usual consultees and the
consultation documents posted on the council's website.

Objections
One response was received to the consultation from Scotforth Parish
Council supporting the proposal for extending the 30mph to include
the entrance to the new housing estate, however, raising the
following concerns and suggestions:
