  • Traffic Regulation Order
    357 Agenda Item 13 CABINET – 14 SEPTEMBER 2018 BEVERIDGE LANE, ELLISTOWN – SPEED LIMIT REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT PART A Purpose of the Report 1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the implementation of a developer-funded Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), planning application number 16/00099FULM, as part of the newly built Amazon site off Beveridge Lane, Ellistown (North West Leicestershire). The effect of the TRO would be to maintain the existing national speed limit of 60mph. Recommendation 2. It is recommended that the Traffic Regulation Order associated with the Beveridge Lane, Ellistown development, as shown on drawing no.TM4445 appended to this report, be approved for implementation. Reason for Recommendation 3. The introduction of street lighting along a road will normally make it subject to a 30 mph speed limit but in this instance it is considered that it would be more appropriate to retain the national 60 mph speed limit. In such circumstances it is necessary to make a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) to de-restrict the route. 4. TROs are usually determined by the Director of Environment and Transport but in this case the local member does not support the proposal so it has been referred to the Cabinet. Timetable for Decisions (including Scrutiny) 5. Subject to the Cabinet’s approval, the making and implementation of the TRO will be made on 22nd October 2018 as all works on-site are complete. Policy Framework and Previous Decisions 6. The scheme contributes to the delivery of Local Transport Plan 3 (LTP3) and the priorities of safety and quality of life.

The first ten minutes saw former Dunkirk full back Ross McCaughey shoot just wide and Tim Hopkinson Bridgford FC. create a good early chance for himself. The home side under the new management team of Craig Clark and Dave Robinson and supported by the ex- perienced Jimmy Albans soon took control though on a heavy playing surface.The Bridgford players reminded me of an old Brenda Lee song ' slipping and sliding' as players seemed to struggle on the boggy surface. The youthful Dunkirk team began to dominate the game and it came as no surprise when Oliver Clark tapped home via the post in the 14th minute for a Dunkirk lead. 1-0 (Dunkirk) Dunkirk captain Tom Maddison and Oliver Clark were controlling the game from midfield allowing wingers Ben Fairclough, on loan from Lincoln United, and Ben Gowing licence to get forward giving the Bridgford full backs of Erentz and McCaughey a torrid time - thankfully for the visitors Martin Kearney made two excellent saves. In the 28th minute though the home side deservedly doubled their lead - Oliver Clark was left completely unmarked from a Ben Gowing corner to stab the ball home, his second of the game.

These are as follows: PART 1: Document Introduction and Main areas of Concern PART 2: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Community Areas LA03, LA04 and LA05 PART 3: Response to WDES Vol 2 – Route-wide Effects PART 4: Response to WDES Vol 3 – Off-route Effects PART 5: Appendices For any enquires about this response, please contact: [email protected] 1 | Page PART 1: Document Introduction and Maim areas of Concern i) This document and its appendices comprise Leicestershire County Council’s (the Council’s) response to the Working Draft Environmental Statement (WDES) for HS2 Phase 2b (the proposed scheme). We issue this response in the spirit of contributing to the processes surrounding this vast infrastructure project, but must include the caveat that the Council can only respond to the material to hand and further intensive work with HS2 Ltd is required to fully understand the impacts for Leicestershire and the most appropriate mitigation. ii) The Council recognises that the WDES is a draft document. However, it is disappointing that even in draft; there is a distinct lack of information provided in sections of the WDES, especially regarding the proposed scheme’s constructional and operational impacts and in respect of its design. But, the Council have determined to use this as an opportunity to shape the design and mitigation across the County. Where clear mitigation is not yet defined, the Council will seek to secure assurances from HS2 Ltd that further work will be carried out to inform the preparation of the Hybrid Bill, including HS2 Ltd preparing an Interim Transport Assessment (including sensitivity testing), and during the Parliamentary processes.
