ROTHERHAM METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL

 

RECORD OF OFFICER EXECUTIVE DECISION

 

Date of Decision:

31st January
2025
 

Title:

Doncaster Road, Wath Proposed
30mph extension

Decision Maker:
(Including Job
Title)

Simon Moss
Assistant Director, Planning,
Regeneration and Transport 
 

Details of Specific Cabinet
Delegation
or Delegation contained in the
relevant Sub-Scheme of Delegation.
 

To promote, consider objections
to and implement Traffic Regulation Orders under the Traffic
Regulation Act 1984.
 

Decision:

The key recommendation of the
report is to continue with the making of the orders for the
proposal.

Reasons for the
Decision:

There is a risk that without
implementing the proposed speed limit extension to better reflect
the road environment, drivers may not reduce their speed to an
appropriate level, as they travel along this section of Doncaster
Road, with the potential for a collision to increase.

Details of alternative
options considered and rejected:

Do nothing and keep the
existing length of 30mph speed limit as it currently
is. 
This option is not being
promoted as this would not have the desired effect of improving the
road safety environment on this section of Doncaster Road, where
there is a proposed new residential development that is currently
under construction.

Conflicts of interest
declared by any Cabinet Member consulted by the decision maker
which relates to the decision:

None

Dispensations
Granted:
(If any)

None

Reports or parts of
reports considered

None

 
I
certify that this is a true record of the executive decision to
consider an extension to the existing 30mph speed
limit by approximately 130m on Doncaster Road, Wath, and to
continue with the making of the order for the
proposal.
