40 Mph Speed Limit Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport Ref: HT17(12/13) April 2013 Key Decision: No Elsted Road, Elsted Marsh – 40mph Speed Limit Part I Report by Director of Service Operations and Electoral Head of Highways and Transport Division(s): Midhurst Executive Summary At the meeting on 20 March 2012 the North Chichester County Local Committee considered a report by Director of Communities and Infrastructure. The report provided the results of traffic surveys on the Elsted Road, Elsted Marsh. The report identified that this road does not meet the County Council’s Speed Limit Policy for a 40mph speed limit in its current condition. Conclusions At its meeting on 20 March the CLC considered the report and resolved that dispensation is sought from the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport to depart from County Council policy and so enable the advertisement and consultation of a permanent 40mph limit on Elsted Road, Elsted Marsh. Recommendation That a departure from the County Council speed limit policy to allow the formal advertisement and statutory consultation for a permanent 40mph limit under the Road Traffic Regulation Act on Elsted Road, Elsted Marsh is authorised and in the event of there being no unresolved objections, that the order be made. Departure from policy to be granted on the basis of the unique characteristics of the rural settlement of Elsted Road, Elsted Marsh and the benefit to the local community that this speed limit would bring. 1. Background 1.1 In June 2011 the North Chichester County Local Committee (CLC) approved Elsted Road, Elsted Marsh as a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) priority for the financial year 2011/12. It was noted at this meeting that Elsted Road TRO did not meet the speed limit criteria for a 40mph speed limit. It was also noted that if approved this may be progressed as an experimental TRO. Clarification has been sought from the legal team and, as a highway authority outside of Greater London, WSCC does not have powers under the Road Traffic Regulation Act allowing Speed Limit Orders to be made on an experimental basis. 1.2 Traffic speed data was collected to enable this location to be reviewed against the County Council’s speed limit policy (see Appendix A) for a 40mph limit. This length of road is currently the subject of a 60mph national speed limit. 1.3 The County Council has adopted as policy, a framework for assessing requests for new speed limits based on advice from the Department for Transport (DfT). The DfT advice reinforces the principal that the need for new speed limits should be evidence led, self explanatory and seek to reinforce people assessment of what is a safe speed to travel. 1.4 The criteria set out in Appendix A to this report are used to determine appropriate speed limits for roads and incorporate two principal factors for assessments of new speed limits. Traffic Speed Character of the road 2. Results 2.1 The traffic speeds at five locations within and around the settlement of Elsted Marsh were surveyed (see Appendix B). The sites were surveyed from 31 October 2011 to 9 November 2011. 2.2 The table below shows the results from the speed survey. The results show the mean average speed in miles per hour (mph) for each site in both directions of travel. Location Traffic Direction Speed East 47 Site 1 West 45.9 East 37.5 Site 2 West 37.5 North 27.2 Site 3 South 28.5 East 43.8 Site 4 West 42.3 East 44.3 Site 5 West 43.9 2.3 For a 40mph speed limit to be introduced in accordance with the County Council’s speed limit policy, average traffic speeds must fall below 42mph (see Appendix A). The data collected show that average speeds at sites 2 and 3 meet the speed assessment criteria. However, the average speeds at sites 1, 4 and 5 are not below the 42mph threshold. The speed data for site 4, which is situated at the extent of the settlement area shows that speeds are marginally outside the threshold by 1.8mph in the eastbound direction and 0.3mph in the westbound direction. 2.4 Sites 2, 3 and 4 are situated within the most developed and densely populated area of the rural settlement of Elsted Marsh, whereas sites 1 and 5 are located on sections of Elsted Road that have limited development or frontage access, presenting a more rural feel. 3. Discussion 3.1 In view of the speed survey results the County Council felt it pertinent to ask for Sussex Police’s position on the proposal of a 40mph order. Sussex Police made a number of comments that are summarised below, the full response can be found in Appendix C. Sussex Police noted that with the exception of sites 2 and 3 (speeds being influenced by the presence of a junction etc) the other three sites on Elsted Road all showed average speeds well in excess of 41.9mph, which indicates that the proposed limit is outside the speed assessment criterion. They raised concern over the high level of non- compliance that further statistical analysis revealed and without the introduction of intrusive engineering measures to manage down speeds, there is likely to be a high number of drivers travelling at speeds above the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) enforcement guidelines and therefore a Crime and Disorder Act issue may be generated where there has not been one previously. Sussex Police also take the view that the route assessment criterion is not met. They understand that the County Council has a philosophy of self enforcement when setting local speed limits, a position supported by the Police. They feel however that this proposal falls outside of the criteria outlined in our speed limit policy and that there is likely to be a Crime and Disorder Act issue generated as a result. Therefore unless adequate traffic engineering measures are introduced to influence vehicle speeds Sussex Police would not support the proposal. 3.2 A 50mph limit could be considered for all or part of this route. However, with average speeds in the mid to low 40's, by posting a 50mph limit this may be seen by some to be a target or acceptable speed and so potentially lead to increases in speed (as identified by national research on speed limits). Whereas a derestricted limit does not display a specific figure and therefore drivers do not react in the same way. Any increase, or decrease, in average speeds has been shown by research to have a corresponding effect on collision rates (for small numbers, generally each 1mph change in average speed leads to a 5% change in collision rates). The risks associated with the introduction of a 50mph limit here are considered to be relatively low. 3.3 Evidence shows that Orders for speed limits do not automatically result in lower speeds with signing alone. Although the speeds are above the speed limit policies criteria, it is felt that if light engineering measures were implemented to ensure a permanent speed limit was adhered to, along side the introduction of a 40mph speed limits associated signs and roundels, it would be deemed acceptable over the settlement area. To introduce any speed limit which falls outside of the speed limit policy, the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport has to make an exception to the Speed Limit Policy. 3.4 Speed surveys show that average speeds which support a 40mph limit are in the most developed area of the rural settlement of Elsted Marsh (sites 2 and 3), another location (site 4) within the developed settlement area marginally falls outside of the speed limit criteria, however speeds are higher in the remaining sections (sites 1 and 5). 3.5 It is clear from discussions with Elsted and Treyford Parish Council that the introduction of a 40mph limit over the most densely populated section of the settlement would not meet the expectations of the community. It has therefore been agreed that the limit should cover the area depicted in Appendix E. This has been agreed in principal on the proviso that village gateway signs are erected and funded by the parish council to act as additional traffic engineering measures. It is felt that these additional measures in conjunction with the speed limit terminal signs, repeater signs and roundels will bring the traffic speeds down to a more suitable level. 3.6 The CLC considered one of the following options: A. Accept that Elsted Road, Elsted currently meets criteria for a derestricted limit and should remain derestricted; B. Impose a 50mph speed limit on Elsted Road, Elsted; or C. The Committee ask the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport to make an exception to the Speed Limit Policy and authorises a 40mph speed limit proposal be progressed. 4. Conclusion 4.1 CLC considered the report and resolved that dispensation is sought from the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport to depart from County Council policy and so enable the advertisement and consultation of a permanent 40mph limit on Elsted Road, Elsted Marsh. 5. Equality Act 2010 Customer Focus Appraisal 5.1 The protected characteristics have been duly considered and assessed in the course of the consideration of this proposal. No relevant or disproportionate impact upon any of the protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010 has been identified in the consideration of the proposals detailed in this Report. 5.2 The Customer Focus Appraisal (CFA) is attached at Appendix D. 6. Resources Implications and Value for Money 6.1 Of the options mentioned at 3.6, all options will be delivered and funded from existing Highway Revenue budgets.

  • Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council to the LGCBE Draft Recommendations for Chichester District
    “Steps”, Trotton, Nr Petersfield, West Sussex, GU31 5JS Response by Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council to the LGCBE Draft Recommendations for Chichester District Trotton with Chithurst Parish Council considered the draft recommendations at a meeting held on Wednesday 14th. September 2016. We are delighted that the proposal to move Trotton from Harting ward was rejected. However, we continue to have grave concerns regarding the proposal to move Elsted and Treyford Parish from Harting ward to Midhurst ward. Our response to the initial consultation included four points relating directly to Elsted parish, and we would repeat and strengthen these here: 1. Trotton no longer has a school, shop, village green, sports ground, village hall or public house and must rely on its neighbours' facilities. Our population centre (albeit a small one) is situated to the south of our parish, about a mile from the public house at Lower Elsted, which hosts events for Trotton residents each month. The Village hall and sports ground at Elsted give a good view across Trotton and are often used by Trotton residents. Trotton and Elsted Parishes are similar in size and nature and the two Parish councils have recently been exploring options for closer working, including the potential for a Common Parish Council. We have strong links to Elsted, which in turn has strong links with Harting Parish. 2. Like our neighbours in Elsted parish, Trotton also has strong links to its larger neighbour Rogate as the two parishes share a Rector across the four churches which make up the United Benefice. Given the small size and sparse facilities of our parish, we also value our links with Rogate for its school and for allowing us to combine with them for celebrations such as the recent Queen’s birthday.

  • Elsted and Treyford Parish Council Met Again on 22Nd September to Consider Additional Information Regarding the Boundary Review for Chichester
    Electoral Review of Chichester District To whom in concerns:- Elsted and Treyford Parish Council met again on 22nd September to consider additional information regarding the Boundary Review for Chichester. As a result it wishes to reiterate all the comments contained in the e-mail response to the Commission dated 1st September. The Commission should note that all the adjoining Parishes including Midhurst Town Council and Chichester District Council have objected to the proposed changes and the vast majority of residents support the Parish Councils view to include E&T Parish within the enlarged Harting ward. It would appear that the reason that you haven’t recommended the inclusion of E&T parish in the proposed Harting ward seems to be because if done the variance in the ward electorate would be high It is about 1% larger in terms of the electorate than the preferred upper limit – in the case of Harting ward that is 30 or so too many voters The inclusion of E&T into Midhurst ward would reduce the variable on Harting ward to + 3%, and increase the variable on Midhurst ward to + 8%. Plus 8% is the greatest variable of any ward according to the LGBCE draft proposals. It wouldn’t take much for an increase in the relatively low housing rate of build currently proposed for Midhurst and the parishes within the draft ward that adjoin it to push that figure higher, perhaps more than 2% higher. If that is the case the issue of Harting ward being too large, which nobody hereabouts objects to, could be swapped for a similar one at Midhurst that could cause unknown outcomes.

  • Elsted and Treyford, and Harting – Request for Diversion of Parts of Footpaths (Fp) 871, 872 and 873; Creation of New Footpath on Disused Railway
    Agenda Item No. 5 (b) Rights Of Way Committee 12 June 2018 Highways Act 1980 Sections 119 and 25 Elsted and Treyford, and Harting – Request for Diversion of Parts of Footpaths (fp) 871, 872 and 873; Creation of New Footpath on Disused Railway Report by Director for Highways and Transport Executive Summary In December 2017 Orders were made to divert three public footpaths, together with the dedication of two additional paths, at Woodhouse Farm near Elsted following an officer delegated decision by the Principal Rights of Way Officer. A copy of the Decision Report is attached for information (Appendix 1). The Orders attracted two objections and so, in line with the agreed practice when an Order made following officer delegated decision is opposed, the Committee is asked to decide whether the Orders should be submitted for confirmation. This report summarises the points raised by objectors and considers their significance in the context of the legal tests for Public Path Diversion Orders. Conclusion Having reviewed the objections with the applicants’ agent, the officers’ view remains that the legal tests for making and confirmation are met. To enable the Diversion Orders to be progressed they will need to be submitted to the Secretary of State (The Planning Inspectorate) for determination and the Committee’s authority to make the submission is now sought. Recommendation That the Public Path Diversion Orders made in respect of footpaths 871, 872 and 873 in the parishes of Elsted and Treyford and Harting be submitted by the Director of Law and Assurance to the Secretary of State for confirmation.
