  • 16-6-2015 Long Eaton
    Public Agenda Item No. 4(b) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE 16 June 2015 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Environment OBJECTIONS TO A 30MPH SPEED LIMIT – A6005 DERBY ROAD, LONG EATON (1) Purpose of Report To seek the Cabinet Member’s approval to implement a speed reduction scheme following objections to a proposal to change the existing 40mph speed limit on the A6005 Derby Road, Long Eaton to 30mph. (2) Information and Analysis Background As part of proposed cycle improvements, planned for the A6005 Derby Road and Nottingham Road, Long Eaton, to address the high number of collisions involving pedal cycles, the Authority proposes to extend the existing 30mph speed limit. The new length of 30mph speed limit would encompass Trent College and Wilsthorpe Community School, and is considered a much more appropriate speed limit for this section of Derby Road. Objections The proposals, as shown in drawing no HMT/RS/477/15, have followed the statutory consultation and public consultation procedures, and two objections were lodged by the Police and a member of the public. The basis of the objections relate to the proposed location of the start of the 30mph speed limit. The Police consider the 30mph speed limit will be too far out and the existing road layout at this location will not properly signal the need to slow down or encourage a reduction in speed, bearing in mind the carriageway width and the positioning of adjacent properties. The Police consider that near to the junction of Briar Gate is a more suitable location, as this is where the carriageway narrows and, from the Police point of view, becomes more urbanised.
