The Strategic Director Place submitted a report (Document “W”) which set out

a petition regarding Park Lane, Queensbury requesting measures to improve

safety, particularly for pedestrians.

The owners of a nursing home situated on Park Lane were present at the

meeting and stated that Park Lane was particularly narrow given the number

of bends in the road and that no measures were in place to control the speed

of traffic, adding that HGVs using the road were an extra dimension to the

issues being faced.

In response the Principal Highways Engineer explained that a number of

proposals were being looked at, however securing the necessary funding from

the developer had been an issue.

A Member suggested that the Assistant Director should write a letter to the

developer as a matter of urgency in order to secure the funding for the works

on Park Lane, and it was therefore:

Resolved –

(1)       That the Assistant Director Planning Transportation & Highways writes to the developer to secure the agreed funds within 3 months so that the highway works (as detailed in paragraph 2.3 to Document “W”) can be promoted.

(1)        That the measures suggested to improve Park Lane are designed in              consultation with the frontages and the Ward Councillors as a working           group.

(3)        That approval be given to prepare and advertise any Traffic Regulation        Orders required to implement the highways works on Park Lane.

(4)        That any valid objections to the advertised Orders be reported to a future meeting of the Bradford South Area Committee or, in the event of there being no valid objections, the Orders be sealed and implemented as advertised.

(5)        That the lead petitioner be informed accordingly.
