b. Y Fan ’30 mph Speed Restrictions’
c. Long Bridge Street, Llanidloes, Old Market Hall (B4518) Weight Restrictions
Minutes:
Members welcomed Chris Lloyd, Area Traffic Officer (north) to the meeting for this item of business.
a. Kerry ‘Waiting Restrictions’ A489 and C2012 – it was noted that the proposal to introduce parking restrictions on the A489 had not been supported by the Community Council. Having discussed the matter and noting the report of the officer and support of the local member it was RESOLVED:
i. To support the proposed loading and waiting prohibitions on the county highways within Kerry as identified on the proposed plan
ii. To Authorise the local highway authority to commence the legal consultation procedures for the proposed traffic regulation order, and if no substantive objections are received, authorise the traffic engineer to implement the proposal
b. Y Fan ’30 mph Speed Restrictions – in the light of the change of local member following the May 2017 County Council election it was agreed that the officer should discuss the proposal with the local member (Councillor Phyl Davies). In the event of the local member supporting the proposal the Committee would RESOLVE that the Traffic Regulation Order consultation procedure is initiated in accordance with The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure (England and Wales) Regulations 1996; and if no substantive objections are received the proposal be implemented. In the event of the local member objecting there would be further considerations/discussions between the member and officer
c. Long Bridge Street, Llanidloes, Old Market Hall (B4518) Weight Restrictions – damage to the Old Market Hall as a result of a road very close to the site had been an on-going concern for the area. The Hall is listed and there are regular reports of damage caused. In order to limit the potential for damage the recommendation to reduce the weight of traffic permitted to travel on the highway had been put to the meeting. Members RESOLVED that the introduction of a 7.5 tonne goods vehicle weight limit is the preferred option, and that the Traffic Regulation Order consultation procedure be initiated in accordance with The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996; and if no substantive objections are received the proposal be implemented.
