Agenda item

The Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director, Neighbourhood Services regarding a proposed scheme of traffic calming measures in the vicinity of Burns Terrace, Shotton Colliery (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Strategic Highways Manager informed the Committee that the scheme had been devised following the submission of a 45 named petition requesting the County Council provide road humps in order to slow traffic in a residential street where children often played.

Councillor Todd, local member for the area informed the Committee that nearby Moor Terrace had gained a certain reputation during recent times with much heightened police activity being undertaken in the area.  Councillor Todd welcomed the proposal for the speed humps and hoped that they would slow traffic down to more sensible speeds for the residential area.

Resolved

That the recommendations contained in the report be agreed.
