Proposals where objections are recommended to be upheld in part
1. Upperton Road - no right turn into The Enterprise Shopping Centre car park
1.1 8 objections were received which raised concerns about how the TRO would impact access to the Enterprise Shopping Centre. Concerns were raised that the no right turn into the Enterprise Shopping Centre car park from A259 Upperton Road coupled with enforcing the No U Turn at A259 Upperton Road/The Avenue junction would prevent customers from accessing the Enterprise Shopping Centre car park when travelling west.
1.2 A Micro-simulation (Vissim) model was used to digitally replicate traffic patterns of all road users using traffic survey data collected in August and September 2024 to measure the impact of proposed changes. The modelling has shown that enabling the right turn into the Enterprise Shopping Centre car park from A259 Upperton Road would have a minimal impact on general traffic journey times.
1.3 Therefore, officers accept this suggestion and as such propose to not introduce the no right turn into The Enterprise Shopping Centre car park from Upperton Road.
Recommendation: To uphold the objections in part and to not install the proposal for no right turn into The Enterprise Shopping Centre car park from Upperton Road as advertised.
