Issue details

Lancashire County Council Council (Avice Pimblett Way, Lea Lane, Sandy Lane And William Young Way, Preston City And Fylde Borough) (Revocation, 30, 40 And 50mph Speed Limits) Order 202*

 

 

The purpose of this proposal is to correct the names of the newly constructed roads from their temporary moniker, as well as to correct a few minor errors relating to the measurements of the various speed limits within this order. This proposal also reduces the speed limit on Lea Lane (U4584) from 40mph to 30mph. The construction of the new Preston Western Distributor Road has now cut off this section of road and a 40mph speed limit is no longer considered a safe or appropriate limit, given the new nature of this road.

Consultations
Formal consultation was carried out between 5 July-2024 and 2 August-2024 which included advertising in the local press and notices being displayed on site. Divisional county councillors were consulted along with the council's usual consultees and the consultation documents posted on the council's website.

Following formal consultation four responses were received objecting to the proposal to reduce the speed limit on Lea Lane from 40mph to 30mph.

The main points raised in the objections along with Officer comments are outlined in Appendix C.
