Issue details

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.
