Purpose

The purpose of this proposal is to introduce a
1.5 metre width restriction to create a safe route for pedestrians,
equestrians, cycles and vehicles of less than 1.5m width.

The available width of Serpentine Road (byway BT1201057) does not
allow safe passage of vehicles wider than 1.5m and other vulnerable
users. The nature and width of the route means that normal road
vehicles are unable to reverse safely to allow other users to
pass.

It is proposed to limit vehicle widths to reduce the potential for
accidents and improve the general safety of users.

Consultations
Formal consultation was carried out between 22 November-2024 and 20
December-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 No Objections were received.
