  • Although This Report Was Commissioned by Highways England, the Findings and Recommendations Are Those of the Au
    Although this report was commissioned by Highways England, the findings and recommendations are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Highways England. While Highways England has made every effort to ensure the information in this document is accurate, Highways England does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of that information; and it cannot accept liability for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from reliance on the information or guidance this document contains. Post Opening Project Evaluation of Major Schemes M1 Junction 25 to 28 Widening Five Years After Opening Study – Key Points What is the scheme? Situated between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, the scheme opened to traffic in 2010. The scheme involved widening a 14 mile (23km) section of carriageway on the M1 motorway between junction 25 at Sandiacre, Derbyshire and junction 28 at Pinxton, Derbyshire. The road was widened from 3 to 4 lanes in each direction. Soon afterwards a controlled motorway technology scheme was implemented on the same scheme section. What are the main findings from the study? Overall, there has been a negligible change in traffic flows across the scheme extent. Average journey times across the scheme have reduced by around 1 minute. There has been decrease in the number of personal injury collisions since the scheme opened, with an average annual saving of 26 collisions and 50 casualties on the scheme itself. The majority of environmental impacts are as expected. The investment cost of building the scheme was 13% lower than forecast. The scheme delivers a Benefit Cost Ratio of 1.7, lower than expected due to the lower traffic levels giving lower benefits.

  • Agency Information - Environmental Health (V3.0 2020 July) Page 1 of 2
    Information about agencies to be shared in ‘Making Enquiries under S.42’ training 1. Who are we? Environmental Health Service 2. Who are we? Each Local Authority, with the exception of Derbyshire County Council (DCC), has environmental health professionals in the form of Environmental Health Officers (EHOs)/ Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs)/ Environmental Health Technical Officers (EHTO), Enforcement Officers who can enforce various types of public health, housing, pollution, food and health and safety legislation. They are primarily regulatory officers but do play a major role in protecting public health, maintaining a safe environment and have both technical and scientific expertise to offer support and advice to partnering agencies, businesses, community groups and the public. 3. What do we do? (The below text sets out some of the relevant areas in s.42 enquiries, but is not limited to these items). EHOs/EHPs/EHTOs/Enforcement Officers have a regulatory role in ensuring public safety in a wide number of areas; being responsible for carrying out measures to protect public health, enforcing legislation relating to the natural and built environments that benefit human health and providing support to minimize health and safety hazards. Particular statutory obligations relate to domestic home environments to ensure ‘fitness for habitation’ by the removal of serious hazards (known as Category 1 hazards*) to achieve the ideal standards within a property. The risk of harm to a person may arise given physical and psychological hazards in the home environment i.e. structural collapse, carbon monoxide from defective appliances, or excess cold from poorly heated and insulated homes. Table 1 below indicates some of the key hazard areas which are checked when a property is assessed by an EH Professional.
