Decision details

Closure of Eastern end of D'Urton Lane Preston to vehicular traffic

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Purpose:

D'Urton Lane is a narrow, traffic-calmed, residential lane, which is also part of the Guild Wheel cycle route. The eastern section has a speed limit of 20mph. In accordance with the planning conditions for construction of the Broughton Bypass, a scheme has to be submitted and approved to manage traffic at this location, including measures to prevent motorised traffic using it. This is to avoid the lane becoming a short-cut for drivers wishing to avoid the M55 J1 traffic signals.

A proposal has been advertised and consulted upon to make a traffic regulation order prohibiting driving on D'Urton Lane.  The formal consultation has resulted in one objection which is addressed in the body of this report.

 

Decision:

County Councillor John Fillis, the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport approved the proposed Prohibition of Driving traffic regulation order which will have the effect of enabling D'Urton Lane to be closed to through traffic.
