Purpose.

To consider responses to the published TRO 08/2018 in respect of a one-way system (except cycles) on Lyndhurst Road (northbound) and Crofton Road (southbound) between the junctions with Stubbington Avenue and Kirby Road.

Recommendations

It is recommended that the Cabinet Member for Traffic and Transportation:

(1)       Approves the no-entry (except cycles) from Kirby Road southbound into Lyndhurst Road and from Stubbington Avenue northbound into Crofton Road with TRO 08/2018 Section A (Appendix 1).

(2)       Approves the implementation of one-way traffic (except cycles) in Crofton Road (southbound) and Lyndhurst Road (northbound) within TRO 08/2018 Section B (Appendix 1) to establish the one-way system.

(3)       Approves the reduction of prohibition of waiting (double yellow lines) at the one-way system entry points Kirby Road, Lyndhurst Road and Stubbington Road within TRO 08/2018 Section C (Appendix 1).

The Cabinet Member for Traffic and Transportation:

(1) Approved the no-entry (except cycles) from Kirby Road southbound

into Lyndhurst Road and from Stubbington Avenue northbound

into Crofton Road with TRO 08/2018 Section A (Appendix 1).

(2) approved the implementation of one-way traffic (except cycles) in

Crofton Road (southbound) and Lyndhurst Road (northbound)

within TRO 08/2018 Section B (Appendix 1) to establish the one-way

system.

(3) Approved the reduction of prohibition of waiting (double yellow

lines) at the one-way system entry points Kirby Road, Lyndhurst

Road and Stubbington Road within TRO 08/2018 Section C

(Appendix 1).

Pam Turton, Assistant Director for Transportation, presented the report.  This was for a 1-way system to improve road safety following concerns raised by the 2 local schools and this would also increase the number of parking spaces.

Councillor Bosher, as Cabinet Member, had visited both sites and had seen the problems at school opening and closing times, and supported these proposals to increase the safety of the children and help assist the school crossing attendant.

Councillor Chowdhury supported the proposal to increase the safety for residents and suggested that more signs be considered to warn of children crossing by the schools.  Councillor Stagg pointed out that the 20mph signs were not repeated in the entrances to these roads.  Pam Turton undertook to review the signage in these roads to see if these were adequate.

DECISIONS - The Cabinet Member for Traffic and Transportation:

(1) Approved the no-entry (except cycles) from Kirby Road southbound

into Lyndhurst Road and from Stubbington Avenue northbound

into Crofton Road with TRO 08/2018 Section A (Appendix 1).

(2) approved the implementation of one-way traffic (except cycles) in

Crofton Road (southbound) and Lyndhurst Road (northbound)

within TRO 08/2018 Section B (Appendix 1) to establish the one-way

system.

(3) Approved the reduction of prohibition of waiting (double yellow

lines) at the one-way system entry points Kirby Road, Lyndhurst

Road and Stubbington Road within TRO 08/2018 Section C

(Appendix 1).

At the close of the meeting, which was the last of the municipal year, Councillor Simon Bosher wished to place on record his thanks to Pam Turton and her team for their work for his portfolio.
