Issue - meetings

The Committee is asked to prioritise the progression of Traffic Regulation Orders in the area based on the attached report and supporting documents.

Community requests for Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) that cost under £3,000 to implement are considered annually by County Local Committees (CLCs). More complex TROs are considered for progression as a Community Highways Scheme and so fall outside the process.

The TRO requests received since July 2018 have been assessed and scored and the results are attached for the CLC to consider and prioritise in line with the Cabinet Member Report for Traffic Regulation Orders – Assessment and Implementation Process (see link in Background Papers) for progression in the 2010/21 works programme.

At its meeting on 05 November 2019 the South Chichester County Local Committee agreed to progress the highest TRO from the list attached at Appendix A.

The following TRO was agreed for progression:

• Selsey Road, Hunston – Speed Limit

The call-in deadline for this decision is 13 November 2019.

22.1   Community requests for Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) that cost under £3,000 to implement are considered annually by County Local Committees (CLCs). More complex TROs are considered for progression as a Community Highways Scheme and so fall outside the process.

22.2   The TRO requests received since July 2018 have been assessed and scored and the results are attached for the CLC to consider and prioritise in line with the Cabinet Member Report for Traffic Regulation Orders – Assessment and Implementation Process (see link in Background Papers) for progression in the 2010/21 works programme.

22.3   At its meeting on 05 November 2019 the South Chichester County Local Committee agreed to progress the highest TRO from the list attached at Appendix A.

The following TRO was agreed for progression:

• Selsey Road, Hunston – Speed Limit

22.4   Mrs Carol Purnell did not feel that it was correct that the other TRO (North Road, Selsey) did not go forward as it was only on the border of being scored a 10 and should have been progressed on safety grounds.

22.5   Mrs Carol Purnell requested that the Committee as a whole lobby the Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure via letter to request that this be taken forward under exception. Not all members agreed on this request which led to a vote.

22.6   It was agreed on a 5 to 1 (Mrs Purnell) vote by the Committee that Mrs Carol Purnell should re-visit this TRO application to gather more community support and submit it with the applicant in the 2020-2021 round for consideration and scoring.

22.7   As the Committee had only used 1 of its allocated TRO allowances, it was agreed that the Committee would write to the Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure to request that they could roll over any unused allowance to the next round of TRO prioritisation.
