Decision details

To report on the outcome of the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) and seek approval to make parts of the ETRO permanent.

The following were approved:

i. the introduction of a Permanent Traffic Regulation Order to prohibit the waiting of motor caravans between the hours of 11pm to 7am at the locations shown on the plans contained in (Appendix B);

ii. the Assistant Chief Executive (Legal and Democratic Services) be authorised to seal the relevant Traffic Regulation Order considering the objections received and that where possible the objectors are notified within 14 days of the order being made; and

iii. consultations on the introduction of Traffic Regulation Orders, similar in nature to the ETRO at key residential locations in Scarborough are commenced. These locations will be based on existing survey data and discussions with the local Members.

As detailed in sections 3 and 8 and having given consideration to the S122 duty it is considered appropriate and proportionate to implement a Permanent Traffic Regulation Order with the same restrictions as the ETRO in parts of North Bay Scarborough and on parts of the A174 between Whitby and Sandsend is the preferred way to continue protecting the amenity of these areas and mitigate any fire risk going forward.

The commencement of the consultation process to consider the introduction of further Traffic Regulation Orders in key residential areas in Scarborough to deal with the problems caused by motor caravans displaced by the ETRO.

Not progressing with the permanent Traffic Regulation Order risked the areas reverting to how they were before the ETRO came in. Namely a degrading of the amenity of the area.
