Made at meeting: 25/05/2022 - Lead Member for Transport and Environment
Decision published: 26/05/2022
Effective from: 25/05/2022
Decision:
5.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport together with written comments by Councillor Keith Glazier as the Local Member submitted prior to the meeting.
5.2 Officers confirmed that any final decision on the experiment, could only be either: to make the Order permanent in like terms to the experiment without modification or to revoke it.
DECESIONS
5.3 The Lead Member RESOLVED to: authorise the making of an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) to allow a No Waiting At Anytime parking restriction to be introduced on Camber Road.
REASONS
5.4 A No Waiting At Anytime restriction along the Camber Road may discourage vehicles from parking in areas that restrict the width of the carriageway, hindering traffic flow and stopping vehicles from manoeuvring out of the way of oncoming emergency service vehicles attending incidents.
5.5 Introducing the restriction under an ETRO will enable the necessary parking restrictions to be monitored and reviewed before a decision is made as to whether they should be made permanent or revoked.

6.2 Mr Jon Harris, the Lead Petitioner for the petition calling on the County Council to reduce the speed limit on the A22 from Cackle Street to Lampool Roundabout, spoke to highlight safety concerns relating to speed of vehicles, pedestrians and horse riders.
DECISIONS
6.3 The Lead Member RESOLVED to:
(1) Advise the petitioners that a lower speed limit on the A22 from Cackle Street to Lampool Roundabout is not a priority for the County Council at the present time; and
(2) Temporary posters, that include a road safety message to advise drivers of the risk of encountering deer in the road, will be put up during the deer calving and rutting seasons.
REASONS
6.4 The resources that the Council have available for road safety are limited and priority must be given to locations with a history of personal injury crashes.
6.5 The crash record on the A22 between Cackle Street and Lampool Roundabout does not identify any area as a current road safety priority for the County Council.
6.6 Previous assessments of the rural A and B class road network in the county, including the most recent Speed Management Programme, have also not identified the A22 between Cackle Street and Lampool Roundabout as being a priority for further investigation.
6.7 The causation factors and Police descriptions of the personal injury crashes for the latest available three-year period (01/03/2019 and 28/02/2022) indicate that deer contributed towards two of the personal injury crashes on this part of the A22.
