Petitioners claimed that vehicles were often speeding on the road and young motor cyclists raced up and down the road causing much noise and nuisance. Petitioners felt that the introduction of speed humps would assist in alleviating this problem and their concerns regarding the safety of their children. The Committee was advised that there was a severely limited budget available for implementing casualty reduction schemes at known accident black spots. The Committee was further advised that no accidents had been recorded on Clarendon Road East in the previous five years and therefore the road would not qualify for the introduction of a scheme at the present time. Planning & Highways Committee th Thursday, 17 November 2016 Page 4 of 142 RESOLVED – That the Planning and Highways Committee: - 1. Support the Officer recommendation that the petitioners request for the introduction of speed humps be refused; and 2. That the Lead Petitioner be informed of the decision. 59 Petition: Bank Street, Darwen A report was submitted to advise the Committee of the receipt a petition containing 18 signatures requesting the introduction of residents’ parking on Bank Street, Darwen. Grounds for the request were outlined in the report. The Committee was advised that under the revised Residents Parking Policy, due to be submitted to the Executive Board (anticipated December 2016) for approval, the request met the criteria for consideration. It was reported that several other requests had been held in abeyance until the policy had been ratified. It was further reported that the policy was clear that, at times, it may not be possible to progress all requests for feasible schemes (where demand exceeded available resources). Requests would be prioritised using the assessment factors. Requests that were unable to be progressed would be placed on a waiting list. RESOLVED – That the Planning and Highways Committee 1. Support the Officer recommendation that the petitioners’ request be added to the waiting list of schemes to be considered upon approval of the residents’ parking schemes policy; and 2. That the Lead Petitioner be informed of the decision. 60 Exclusion of the Press and Public RESOLVED – That the press and public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following item in view of the fact that the business to be transacted is exempt by virtue of paragraph 5 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972. 61 Enforcement Update A report was submitted to present the Committee with an overview on Enforcement matters.

  • Newsletter 155 Colour for E-Neslwetter
    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 155 Autumn 2016 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 THE NOTIFICATION OF THE WEST PENNINE MOORS AS A SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) It has been a notable summer on the West Pennine Moors (WPM) with a host of locally scarce, or previously unrecorded upland specialities reported. Botanically, the consolidation or spread of existing restricted populations of Moonwort, Great Sundew, Royal Fern, Round-leaved Sundew and Bell Heather were noted whilst in many areas, vast carpets of Cranberry fruited in abundance. Highlights were the locating of new colonies of Marsh Andromeda, Cowberry and Labrador Tea, whilst pride of place went to the discovery of Many- stalked Spike-rush, a native perennial new to the WPM. Great Sundew, Belmont Moor 30 th August 1 Bilberry Bumblebee, Belmont 23 rd June Moving away from vascular plants, a population of the upland specialist Bilberry Bumblebee was confirmed at Belmont and whilst Adder numbers in the east of the WPM were down, a male seen in the west by a competent observer in August, confirmed the continuing presence of a relict population there. The WPM is well known for its important breeding bird populations, particularly of waders and gulls, and 2016 was no exception; with the highpoints probably being the ten species of breeding wader across the area and the fledging of at least 38 juvenile Mediterranean Gulls from within the UK’s largest Black-headed Gullery at Belmont. 2 However, eclipsing all of the above and further to the announcement in the CDNHS February Newsletter (no.
