Purpose

Following investigations and formal public consultation it is proposed to make an order to introduce a new Prohibition of Driving along a short section of Moss Lane, Whittle-le-Woods, also the revoking and reintroduction of a number of orders with anomalies in the districts of Hyndburn, Pendle, and West Lancashire to allow for effective enforcement by the Police.

The order further removes restrictions that are no longer required due to duplication of orders or where an order is still in place that is not indicated on site in the districts of Pendle, Preston, and West Lancashire.

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C20 have been complied with. Compliance with Standing Orders C19 was impracticable due to the report being originally due to be considered by Cabinet in June but, in order to allow the necessary legal procedures to take place and for the works to commence as soon as possible, the report will now be considered by Cabinet in May. At the time of publication, the proposals were not included in the statutory notification of forthcoming key decisions for May as it was not clear at that time if the report could be brought forward.

Decision

The Cabinet approved the recommendation(s) as set out in the report.
