  • Report to Transport and Highways Portfolio REPORT of SERVICE DIRECTOR, HIGHWAYS C3 ORSTON / ALVERTON / KILVINGTON PROPOSED 7.5T
    Report to Transport and Highways Portfolio 7th February 2012 Agenda Item:3.7 REPORT OF SERVICE DIRECTOR, HIGHWAYS C3 ORSTON / ALVERTON / KILVINGTON PROPOSED 7.5T ENVIRONMENTAL WEIGHT LIMIT - REPORT OF OBJECTIONS Purpose of the Report 1. To consider the objections received in respect of the proposed Environmental Weight Limit Traffic Regulation Order (TRO 3138) along the C3 through Orston, Alverton and Kilvington and to consider the introduction of an experimental traffic regulation order to allow greater monitoring of the effects of the proposals. Delegated Authority 2. Scheme of Delegation TH.2. All powers relating to the planning, management and maintenance of highways and rights of way, and the development of integrated transport and road safety, which are not delegated to the Planning and Licensing Committee including:- (in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Personnel and Performance) the disposal of land acquired for (but no longer needed for) highway purposes. Information and Advice 3. The C3 route connects the A52 in the vicinity of Elton and Bottesford with Newark. The general nature of the road is rural, and passes through a number of small villages including Orston, Alverton and Kilvington. The route represents a significant short-cut for vehicles requiring access to the southern end of Newark and in particular to business and industrial premises, and is therefore used extensively by goods vehicles accessing these premises. The rural nature of the route encourages high traffic speeds and the narrowness and alignment results in significant overrunning of verges and damage by larger vehicles. 4. The current use of the route creates both noise and visual intrusion for residents of the villages and results in damage to the road infrastructure by heavy vehicles.
