Existing Weight Restriction on Various Roads in the Asenby, Rainton and Topcliffe areas

Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Business and Environmental Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To retain the existing Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) of 1999 (7.5 tonne weight restriction in a zone covering various roads in the Asenby, Rainton and Topcliffe area) in its current form until 6 months following the completion of all of the signage improvements on both the local road network (managed by NYC) and the strategic road network (managed by National Highways).


Reasons for the decision:

Further time is required to implement the proposed signage improvements on both the local and strategic road networks which, it is hoped, will have the desired effect of reducing the number of HGV movements through the village of Topcliffe.

Alternative options considered:

A further consultation on potential amendments to the existing TRO, to be carried out prior to the completion of the proposed improvements to the traffic signs.
