Decision details

Duke Street Area, Chorley - Proposed One-Way Street, Prohibition of U-Turn, Parking Bays and Waiting Restrictions

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Purpose:

The Duke Street proposed one-way system, is part of a package of highway measures promoted and largely funded by Chorley Borough Council (CBC) with a financial contribution (£10,000) from Lancashire County Council (LCC), and is aimed at providing parking for local residents whilst eliminating a level of the current 'rat running' traffic. A proposed prohibition of U-turn movement on Bolton Road in the vicinity of its junction with Duke Street was added to the scheme to address an existing U-turning problem in the vicinity. The proposed one-way system has received one objection during the formal consultation.  A number of other measures in the package, as described in the report, are also proposed for implementation.

 

Decision:

County Councillor John Fillis, the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport approved:

 

(i)  The proposed one-way system on Duke Street and the remainder of the proposed highway package, with the exception of the proposed Bolton Road parking scheme, as described in this report and attached at Appendix 'A';

(ii)  That the total value of the scheme  of £126,972 be added to the 2017/18 Highways Capital Programme for implementation, £116,972 being funded from an external contribution already received from Chorley Borough Council, and the balance of £10,000 being funded from the 2016/17 Highways Capital Programme Advance Design budget.
