025. WINTER MAINTENANCE

The Forum considered a report by the Director of Environment and Transport on winter maintenance. The report was introduced by Mr Grierson with a copy filed with the minutes.

Mr Grierson confirmed that the last winter had been very severe. Gritting crews had gone out 99 times which was double the amount of times in 2011. Overall, 19,700 tonnes of salt were used in comparison to an average winter usage of 10,000 tonnes. The salt barns capacity is 16,500 tonnes which can be topped up if necessary.

Mr Grierson confirmed that, in the summer, the winter service had been reviewed, with the following tasks being progressed:

- build on the review of the priority 1 and 2 salting routes - review the priority 3 routes - purchase new gritters in order to ensure that all 17 front line gritters are under 2 years old. - service and refurbish all LCC-owned snow ploughs operated by farmers

Mr Grierson went on to explain the grit bin procedure which is focused around sharp bends and steep inclines which are not already covered by the precautionary 1 and 2 salting routes. He also highlighted Appendix A of the report which shows the parish councils undertaking the snow warden scheme. Finally, Mr Grierson explained the improvements that have been made to the County Council’s web pages.

Mr Grierson confirmed that the route in Thorpe Astley where a previous accident occurred was now on the precautionary 1 and 2 gritting route.

RECOMMENDATION

That the report of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted.

026. SCHOOL ENTRANCE ISSUES

The Forum considered a report by the Director of Environment and Transport on school entrance issues. The report was introduced by Mr Wright with a copy filed with the minutes.

Mr Wright explained to Members the measures available to the County Council in endeavouring to lessen the effect of the parking problems occurring outside school entrances. The report explains what the County Council can and cannot do.

Mr Wright confirmed that under single and double yellow lines motorists can stop to drop off and pick up school children without enforcement being undertaken.

Cllr M Broomhead DC congratulated officers for the work undertaken at a school in her area where the issue of parking was being lessened.

The Chairman welcomed Mark Stevens who had been delayed by the traffic. He asked him if he had any comments on the appointment of the new Director.

15 TH JANUARY 2014

CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

a) A50 Leicester Road, Glenfield: Car parking issues

1. At the last meeting of this forum, an update was provided on the situation relating to parking on the A50, subsequent to the implementation of restrictions in July 2013.

2. The update included the following:

“Early conclusions are therefore that the restrictions as imposed are working well. The situation will continue to be monitored, and another meeting with the residents and local Councillors will take place in early October.”

3. Monitoring throughout September confirmed the positive effect that the implementation of waiting restrictions has had on the parking situation on the A50. Results of the further monitoring was presented to residents and Councillors in a meeting on 28 October.

4. At the meeting it was generally accepted that the restrictions had achieved the desired result.

The Way Forward

5. It was explained at the meeting that the experimental period of the traffic regulation order has to last for at least 6 months. During this period, anyone is entitled, and indeed encouraged, to write to us with their comments on the scheme as it exists at the moment and to make suggestions, if appropriate, for changes to the order.

6. We will soon be looking at all comments made about the effects of the restrictions with a view to determining the next step which, dependent on feedback, could be any of the following:

• Make permanent the scheme as it stands • Make permanent the scheme with minor changes • Make further changes to the scheme and run another experimental period • Scrap the scheme and remove all restrictions imposed in July.

7. Anyone who wishes to comment and hasn’t done yet to do so yet should do so as soon as possible so that their comments may be taken into consideration. In 8

order to be taken into consideration in the legal process, comments must be lodged in writing, in hard copy or e-mail – either is acceptable.

8. Once officers have considered the comments, their recommendations on the way forward will again be presented to the local County Council Member, Mr Yates, and the four district councillors covering the area before any action is taken.

CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

b) Blaby by-pass

Background

1. On 12 September 2013, a petition was received detailing local concerns over the speed of traffic on the Blaby by-pass. The situation was investigated and resulted in a report, presented to the Leicestershire County Council Highway Forum for Blaby on 9 January 2013. The report recommended no change to the speed limit on the Blaby by-pass.

2. Since the report was written, the Department for Transport has issued new guidance on the setting of local speed limits (Department for Transport Circular 01/2013 – Setting Local Speed Limits). In view of the complaints still being received about the speed of vehicles on the by-pass, the speed limit has been reviewed again using this latest guidance.

Extracts from the guidance

3. Speed limits should be evidence-led and self-explanatory and seek to reinforce peoples assessment of what is a safe speed to travel. They should encourage self-compliance.

4. Setting speed limits at the appropriate level for the road, and ensuring compliance with these limits, play a key part in ensuring greater safety for all road users.

5. A speed limit should be set with support from the local community, the police and other local services, with supporting education, and with consideration of whether engineering measures are necessary to reduce speeds or if it is set unrealistically low for the particular road function and condition. Otherwise, it may be ineffective and drivers may not comply with the speed limit.

The review

6. The review against the new guidance highlights the issues in the following paragraphs.

7. The speed limit on the Enderby Road roundabout is incorrect. With three of the five arms having a 30mph speed limit, the guidance suggests that the speed limit of the roundabout itself should also be 30mph.

8. The speed limit on the Winchester Avenue arm of the Enderby Road roundabout is not signed as a 30mph limit, neither is the by-pass entrance to Winchester Avenue.

9. The speed limit on the Grove Road roundabout is also incorrect. With two arms having a 30mph speed limit and two having national speed limit, the roundabout should take the lower speed limit of 30 mph.

10. The ‘national’ speed limit on the Lutterworth Road/Wychwood Road roundabout is technically correct.

11. There are a number of direct vehicular accesses to the by-pass from adjacent premises and also an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing point. The guidance suggests that, in this type of situation, the national speed limit may not be the most appropriate limit.

Recommendations

12. It is recommended that:

• The speed limit on the Enderby Road roundabout be reduced from national to 30 mph.

• The speed limit on the Grove Road roundabout be reduced from national to 30 mph

• The speed limit on the Lutterworth Road/Wychwood Road roundabout be reduced from national to 30mph for consistency with the other two roundabouts

• The status of the speed limit on Winchester Avenue and other roads joining it is checked and that measures are taken to ensure that these roads are correctly designated and signed as a 30mph limit.

13. It is further recommended that, in order to prevent the possible increase in rear- end shunt accidents as drivers on the by-pass approach the roundabouts and slow down to 30 mph:

• The speed limit on the Blaby by-pass from the end of the 40mph limit at the Leicester Road end to the Enderby Road roundabout be reduced from national to 50 mph.

• The speed limit on the Blaby by-pass from the Enderby Road roundabout to the Grove Road roundabout be reduced from national to 50 mph.

• The speed limit from the Grove Road roundabout to the Lutterworth Road/Wychwood Road roundabout be reduced from national to 50 mph.

• The speed limit on the A426 from the Lutterworth Road/Wychwood Road roundabout for 300 metres be reduced from national to 50 mph.

These proposals are shown on the accompanying plan.

LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR BLABY

15 TH JANUARY 2014

TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDERS RELATING TO NEW DEVELOPMENTS

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT & TRANSPORT

Purpose of Report

1. The purpose of this report is to inform members of a change in the way Traffic Regulation Orders are dealt with in respect of new developments.

Background

2. At the North West Leicestershire Highway Forum on 10 th July 2013, a question was tabled:

‘How can we improve the design and implementation of Traffic Regulation Orders on new estates to maximize their acceptability to residents who cannot be consulted prior to their implementation? What best practice examples exist elsewhere and what principles can we adopt for north-west Leicestershire?’

3. The question was prompted by issues that occurred on Adam Morris Way in Coalville, when the first that some of the residents knew about waiting restrictions on their road was when a lining crew turned up. The residents considered the restrictions imposed as being too restrictive.

Adam Morris Way – Highlighting the Problems

4. Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) implemented in response to new developments normally run smoothly and produce the desired effect. In the case of Adam Morris Way, however, anything that could go wrong appears to have actually gone wrong.

5. The issues relating to Adam Morris Way date back to 2005, when planning permission was submitted by developers for housing on the old Stephenson College site in Coalville.

6. At the time, there was talk of North West Leicestershire District Council introducing car parking charges in the town, so concerns were raised about possible overspill parking from the town centre and nearby schools. Proposals were therefore drawn up for waiting restrictions which would be implemented once the houses were built.

7. These proposals were supported by the then County Member and the appropriate steps were taken to ensure that the developer had a legal responsibility for funding the restrictions.

8. At the same time, the developer was made aware that they were responsible under the Property Mis-descriptions Act 1991 for making residents and potential residents aware of the proposals.

9. The problems of Adam Morris Way appear to have been caused by the long timescales involved with the development. It is likely that due to the length of the build programme that re-sales occurred in between the TRO process being completed and the lines being installed on site which, again, was a longer period than is usual. As a result, some residents may have completed private sales without the developer’s involvement and may not have been made aware of the proposals for a TRO. (The legal position with this is that any instance of a resident or developer not declaring the information is a breach of the Property Mis-descriptions Act 1991. Leicestershire County Council are not and cannot be accountable for this.)

10. In terms of the TRO process relating to Adam Morris Way, a formal consultation was carried out starting on 1 st October 2011. Following this consultation and the rest of the TRO process, the scheme as proposed was given the go-ahead in April 2012 and the Order made on 8 October 2012. The waiting restrictions were not implemented on street, however, until July 2013.

11. The other potential issue raised, for which there is no solution, is the issue of local searches.

12. Anyone buying a house will normally have a search undertaken on the local area. This search may be commissioned from the County Council or any other search provider.

13. Leicestershire County Council has in place a system that will flag up any proposed TROs in an area when a search is conducted, and will always flag this up to the requestor of the search. Records show that in the case of Adam Morris Way, for every search made during the period between the TROs being proposed and implemented the potential restrictions were highlighted.

14. Unfortunately, however, private search providers do not have access to the same information as the County Council, and are under no legal obligation to ask for it. A loophole therefore exists that potential residents may buy a search from an independent company in good faith but, because the search supplier has not asked for local information from the County Council, the proposed TRO will not be picked up.

15. The final issue here is that due to the length of time between the TRO being initially proposed and it being implemented on street, there was no guarantee that the proposals would still be the correct solution for the area. In the case of Adam Morris way this was indeed the case, with the resultant restrictions being too onerous.

The way forward 15

16. The issue of private search providers is not one over which the County Council has any control, so no direct action can be taken over this. The problem may, however, be lessened by some of the changes detailed below.

17. The main cause of problems appears to be due to assumptions made early in the development process about the scale of potential problems, and then ‘fixing’ the problem before it is observed whether the problem does, in fact, exist.

18. In line with the Local Transport Plan, an ‘evidence led’ approach will now be taken in order to ensure that the County Council does not have to fund new TROs to fix existing TROs, paid for by developers, that turn out to be inappropriate once the development is complete.

19. This would be applied to both S38 and S278 works.

20. Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980 provides for a highway authority to adopt by agreement a road built by a third party. A road adopted under Section 38 will be maintained at public expense.

21. Section 278 of the Highways Act provides for works funded by developers to be carried out on the existing public highway with our agreement. For example, this might include constructing a new roundabout to provide access to a development or improving an existing junction to accommodate extra traffic generated by the development.

22. The system for dealing with developer-funded TROs has now been changed so that:

• Where significant parking issues that may have a safety impact occur on S278 and S38 works, the developer will still be required to cover the cost of implementing waiting restrictions as agreed by the County Council as Highway Authority

• Proposed schemes will be outlined prior to technical approval of S38 works with appropriate notes on legal and technical drawings. However, unless there is a clear and immediate safety need, TROs will not be processed until there is sufficient evidence on site that proposed measures are of an appropriate scale to deal with any problem. If there is no evidence that the waiting or other restrictions are required then the Order will not be processed and just the abortive costs incurred by the County Council will be recovered from the developer.

• Leicestershire County Council will highlight to the developer the need to keep any prospective residents informed about proposals for TROs in any sales information packs

• Once the site is occupied and evidence assessed, we will consult with the residents, both in the new development and in the surrounding area. If the evidence and consultation points to a TRO 16

being appropriate, the implementation will follow the normal statutory/LCC process.

It is recommended that Members note the contents of this report.

ENERGY REDUCTION FOR STREET LIGHTING PROJECT

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Background

1. The energy reduction for street lighting project approved at the Leicestershire County Council Cabinet meeting on 15 th December 2009 is nearing completion. This report updates Members on the current situation of the project within Blaby.

Update

2. Attached is a copy of the part-night lighting implementation progress map for December 2013. Part-night lighting has now been implemented in all the towns and villages where Leicestershire County Council street lighting exists within Blaby, as indicated in green on the map.

3. Since the introduction of the street lighting energy saving project, over £1m has been saved from Leicestershire County Council’s street lighting energy bill. The works completed to date will continue to deliver full-year effect financial savings of over £600,000 and carbon savings of over 3,000 tonnes. These carbon savings will also deliver a further saving of over £48,000 due to a reduction in Leicestershire County Council’s carbon tax liability in 2014/15.

4. A review is undertaken in each area one year after the lighting is converted to part-night lighting. To date, the responses from the emergency services and the LCC accident unit have indicated that this initiative has not led to an increase in crime or road traffic accidents.

Recommendation

5. It is recommended that Members note the content of this report.

STATUTORY UNDERTAKER REINSTATEMENTS

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Purpose of report

1. To inform Members of the duties placed on statutory undertakers in relation to the reinstatement of the highway following their works and the powers available to the County Council.

Background

2. Leicestershire County Council is the highway, traffic and street authority for local highways in the County. The Secretary of State for Transport is the authority for motorways and trunk roads.

3. A previous report to the Highway Forum has explained the way in which street and road works are coordinated to minimise the disruption that they can cause to traffic movements. This report focuses specifically on the requirements placed on statutory undertakers in relation to the reinstatement of the highway following their works, and the powers available to the County Council.

4. There are a number of pieces of legislation that provide the basis for the duties and powers relating to street works and other activities on the highway network. However, the main piece of legislation that covers highway reinstatements is the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA).

Duties of the statutory undertakers

5. The NRSWA establishes the concept of a street works “undertaker” . This is a person or organisation with statutory or licensed rights to place, retain, and maintain apparatus in the highway. Each utility company has statutory rights to place its apparatus in the streets (or highways) and are collectively referred to as "statutory undertakers". Placing apparatus or excavating in a street (or highway) without “undertaker” rights is an offence that carries a fine of up to £1,000.

6. The NRSWA contains specific duties requiring statutory undertakers to reinstate their excavations as soon as possible following the completion of works on their apparatus. They are also required to reinstate their excavations to prescribed standards of safety, quality and performance. These prescribed standards are described in the national "Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways". 22

7. In simple terms, reinstatements are required to be undertaken using the correct materials and must not deviate from the road level, through either crowning or depression, by more than 10-25 mm, depending on their width. In addition, reinstatements must not deviate from the road level, through a combination of crowning and depression, by more than 10-20 mm, depending on their width.

Powers of the County Council to inspect reinstatements

8. The County Council has the right to inspect a structured, random sample of each statutory undertaker’s works over a 2-year guarantee period (3 years for deep excavations). These are undertaken at three defined stages, as follows:

a. Undertaken during the progress of the works; b. Undertaken within the six months following reinstatement; c. Undertaken within the three months preceding the end of the guarantee period.

These sample inspections allow the overall performance of each statutory undertaker to be established.

9. The number of inspections that the County Council can undertake each year is calculated from a rolling 3-year average of annual inspections units generated by a statutory undertaker's works. A unit of inspection is counted as each 200 metre length of a long excavation, or up to 10 excavations of less than 200 metres combined length that are undertaken as part of the same works, in the same street at the same time.

10. Around 4,500 to 5,000 reinstatement inspections are undertaken each year. Undertakers are required to pay the County Council a fee (currently £50) for all reinstatement inspections undertaken and are required to rectify any defects at their own cost and within required timescales.

11. If a reinstatement is found to not comply with the requirements of the specification, the County Council is allowed to require the statutory undertaker to undertake remedial works to rectify this defect. In doing so, the County Council is allowed to undertake three "defect" inspections consisting of:

• a joint inspection with the statutory undertaker before remedial works; • an inspection of the remedial works in progress; • an inspection of the completed remedial works.

A fee (currently £47.50) is payable for each of these inspections. Around 500 to 600 of reinstatements are reported as defective each year.

Conclusion

12. Statutory undertakers have the right to place their apparatus in streets. In doing so, they have a duty to comply with a national specification that sets the 23

standard required for the safety, quality and performance of their reinstatements. The County Council has powers to undertake sample inspections to establish a statutory undertakers overall performance in their duties at their cost. The County Council also has powers to require statutory undertakers to rectify reinstatements that do not meet this specification and can undertake additional inspections to ensure that this is done properly.

Recommendation

13. It is recommended that Members note the contents of this report.

LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR BLABY

15 TH JANUARY 2014

PROGRAMME OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT WORK - CURRENT POSITION

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT

Purpose of Report

1. To inform Members of the current status of the traffic management work programme.

Work Programmes

2. The programme and current status of traffic management work is summarised in the attached appendices:

Works Programme 2013/14 schemes requiring a TRO Appendix A 2013/14 schemes not requiring a TRO Appendix B 2014/15 schemes requiring a TRO Appendix C 2014/15 schemes not requiring a TRO Appendix D Developer funded TROs Appendix E

Resource Implications

3. Traffic management schemes are funded from various sources:

• The County Council’s traffic management revenue allocation – includes most schemes undertaken as a result of an enquiry • Capital funding (County Council, Local Sustainable Transport Fund etc.) – planned area-wide work • Developers – no resource implications • Outside funding (individuals, parishes, districts etc) – those schemes that are unlikely to be rated high enough to justify County Council funding.

Equal Opportunities Implications

4. No direct implications have been identified.

Recommendation

5. Members are requested to note the content of this report.
