Vehicular access to the former Further Education Centre was from Middle Lane (to the south) with pedestrian access both from Middle Lane and via steps from Grove Road / Beacon's Hill (to the north). 2.3 The highway infrastructure surroundingDRAFT the site comprises a network of congested streets with narrow width footways, often on only one side of the road. On-street parking occurs in most locations reducing visibility from junctions and also slowing traffic movements. 2.4 Access to Vale Street, the main road through Denbigh which provides bus stops and pedestrian routes to the town centre, is via Lôn-y-Post (Post Office Lane) and Lôn Copner. 2.5 All of the above roads are subject to a 30mph speed restriction and provided with street lighting. 2.6 As stated above all vehicular traffic to the former Further Education Centre would have needed to access the site from Middle Lane. A better route for HGVs and other large vehicles delivering to the new development would be via the industrial estate / Ffordd Y Graig (if travelling from the east) or via Barkers' Well Lane (if travelling from the west) to Grove Road. For this reason the development proposals for Pentre Canol involve the creation of a second vehicular entrance near the Grove Road / Beacon's Hill junction. 2.7 It is intended that this entrance be used for all service vehicles (ie deliveries, refuse collections, ambulances etc) and by staff and other professionals accessing associated parking facilities, thereby reducing the vehicular use of Post Office Lane, Middle Lane and Lôn Copner. 2.8 The arrangement of this new entrance is shown on the Proposed Site Layout Plans in Appendix F, with the design discussed in greater detail in Section 10.0 below. 2.9 The Environment Act 1995 requires local authorities to review and assess air quality in their areas. In order to achieve their aims authorities are empowered to declare air quality management areas within which they can introduce measures to secure the required standards. 2.10 The proposed development site is not in an air quality management area. 5230 / November 2016 < 2 PROPOSED SUPPORTED LIVING VILLAGE, PENTRE CANOL, DENBIGH Transport Statement 3.0 ROAD SAFETY 3.1 Denbighshire County Council maintains records of reported collisions within the highway and these are now available through the Crashmap website at www.crashmap.co.uk. A search has been made with regard to the record in the vicinity of the site for the previous 5 years and covered the roads adjoining the proposed development site (Middle Lane, Grove Road and Beacon's Hill) and Vale Street within 200m of the junctions with Post Office Lane and Lôn Copner. 3.2 There were nine collisions withinDRAFT this area during the 5-year period, six of which were slight in severity and three which were serious. 3.3 Two of the serious collisions occurred in Grove Road to the east of the proposed site entrance. One collision (reference 201360P144481) involved three cars, with the one driven by a younger driver (16-20) hitting the other two (which were described as "slowing down or stopped" or "waiting to proceed normally but held up") on the offside. The collision took place in daylight, in fine, dry conditions and was not within 20m of a junction. 3.4 The second collision (reference 201360P191132) involved a car hitting a young girl who was described as "in carriageway, not crossing". The collision took place in November in daylight and fine, dry conditions and was not within 20m of a junction. 3.5 The other serious collision (reference 201260N080228) took place in Vale Street and again involved a car (driven by a younger driver, 16-20) hitting a pedestrian described as "in carriageway, not crossing". 3.6 The slight collisions all took place in Vale Street with only two (reference 201360P082865 & 201560S078777) involving vehicles turning at junctions (in both cases at Post Office Lane and in wet conditions). Of the others, one (reference 201560S136845) involved an elderly motorist (over 75) reversing from a private drive or entrance into the carriageway and three involved impact with parked or stationary vehicles. 3.7 Details of all the collisions are included at Appendix B. 5230 / November 2016 < 3 PROPOSED SUPPORTED LIVING VILLAGE, PENTRE CANOL, DENBIGH Transport Statement 4.0 TRAFFIC VOLUME AND SPEED 4.1 In order to assess the level of traffic on the highway network surrounding the site an automatic traffic count was carried out for a 12-day period commencing on 07 October 2016, during school term time. The count measured both traffic volume and speed. 4.2 Counters were placed as follows: • ATC 1 - Grove Road, opposite the former Magistrates Court DRAFTo • ATC 2 - Beacon's Hill opposite N 65 • ATC 3 - Middle Lane opposite the existing site entrance 4.3 The average weekday two-way flow in Grove Road was 1,752 vehicles, falling to 938 vehicles at the weekend. The busiest hour was 0800-0900 with a two-way flow of 183 vehicles. Recorded 85%-ile speeds over the full 12-day period were 28.4mph and 26.8mph westbound and eastbound respectively. 4.4 In Beacon's Hill the average weekday two-way flow was 1,223 vehicles, falling to 624 vehicles at the weekend. The busiest hour was 0800-0900 with a two-way flow of 120 vehicles. Recorded 85%-ile speeds over the full 12-day period were 27.3mph and 26.8mph westbound and eastbound respectively. 4.4 In Middle Lane the average weekday two-way flow was 257 vehicles, falling to 84 vehicles at the weekend. The busiest hour was 0900-1000 with a two-way flow of 30 vehicles. Recorded 85%-ile speeds over the full 12-day period were 19.5mph and 19.2mph westbound and eastbound respectively. 4.5 The results of this traffic survey are included at Appendix C. 5230 / November 2016 < 4 PROPOSED SUPPORTED LIVING VILLAGE, PENTRE CANOL, DENBIGH Transport Statement 5.0 PUBLIC TRANSPORT 5.1 The area surrounding the site is served by public transport in the form of the Arriva Bus Service 51, X51, 53 & 76, the M&H Bus Service 66 & 76, the Llew Jones Bus Service 14, 55 & 71 and the P&O Lloyd Bus Service 14A. The above run along Vale Street to the south of the site. 5.2 The principal service is the 51 / X51, which operates between Rhyl, Denbigh and Wrexham, via Ysbyty Glan Clwyd and Ruthin. This service runs on Monday to Saturday from 0610 to 1945 and 0611 to 1925 east and westbound respectively. The frequency is generally less than 30 minutes, and increases to asDRAFT little as 20 minutes through the working day. 5.3 Regular connections throughout the working day are provided by the 53 services to a number of destinations including the Tweedmill Shopping Outlet, St Asaph, Glan Clwyd Hospital and Prestatyn 5.4 The Arriva 76 service provides a connection between Denbigh and Llangwyfan (via Llandyrnog) whilst the M&H 66 service operates between Henllan and Denbigh and the M&H 76 service provides connections between Denbigh, Llandyrnog, Ruthin and Pentrecelyn.

  • Programme of Highway Works Streetscene & Transportation
    Streetscene & Transportation Revised June 2018 Programme of Highway Works Streetscene & Transportation The following information details the proposed programme of highway improvement works to be undertaken during the financial year 2018/19 by Flintshire County Council Streetscene & Transportation. The programmes have been devised in support of the strategic aims of the County Council to improve roads and transport. The revenue and capital funded improvement programmes relating to carriageway and footway structural and surface treatments are prioritised from annual condition survey data and visual inspection to improve the highways infrastructure within Flintshire County Council. Highways Asset Management Planning In realising that the current backlog of structural maintenance on carriageways and footways can only be reduced by adopting a long term strategic approach to improving the highways infrastructure, Flintshire County Council in conjunction with the Welsh Assembly Government, has adopted an all Wales approach to Highways Asset Management Planning. The following methodology explains the principles derived in prioritising planned maintenance programmes of work:- » Mechanical and visual assessment of the carriageway infrastructure on an annual basis. The information being interpreted by a computerised United Kingdom Pavement Analysis System (UKPMS) to provide an indication as to the level of deterioration of individual roads. » Visual assessment of the footway infrastructure on an annual basis. The information being input into a data management system to provide an indication as to the level of deterioration of individual footways. » The output from UKPMS and other data sources is then subject to an engineering analysis to provide the long term strategies for improvement which take into account corporate plans for economic and residential development, regional transport planning, community based needs and local accident statistics.

    THE LONDON GAZETTE, SRD NOVEMBER 1970 12133 for example, a registration of land as common land made before 1st July 1968 and not objected to before 1st October 1970, will have become final and definitive on the latter date, but if registrations of rights over that land, or claims to ownership thereof, are made after 30th June 1968, objections to such registrations can be made in the objection period now current. Every objection which is not rejected is noted on the register as soon as possible after receipt, and particulars are sent by the Registration Authority to the person (if any) on whose application the registration was made, and to certain other persons directly interested m the registration. In addition, copies of register entries of objections are sent to local authorities holding copies of the registrations to which they relate. The noting of an objection on the register does not mean that it is officially admitted to be correct, and it has no immediate effect on the registration. The effect is that, unless the registration is cancelled, or the objector withdraws his objection, the matter will be referred to a Commons Commissioner for decision. Dated 5th October 1970. T. M.
