The Area Committee has
given approval to:
 

(1) 
The following road safety measures:
 
·
Introduction of a Traffic Regulation Order to support the existing
School Keep Clear Markings to assist enforcement (to apply Monday
to Friday 8.30am – 9.30am, 11.30am - 12.30pm, and 2.30pm -
3.30pm).
 
·
Introduction of School Keep Clear Markings on Clough Meadow on
approach to the school entrance (Monday to Friday 8.30am - 9.30am,
11:30am – 12:30pm and 2.30pm - 3.30pm). North side only.
 
·
Introduction of No Waiting at Times Shown restrictions (Single
Yellow Lines) with additional No Loading restrictions (to apply
Monday to Friday 8.30am - 9.30am and 2.30pm - 3.30pm), on the
corners to school entrance at Savernake Road/Sherwood Road, on the
southern side of Clough Meadow on approach to the school entrance
and continuing along the western side of Northdown Avenue. These
restrictions are proposed to keep these stretches of carriageway
clear of parked vehicles at school drop-off and pick-up times,
improving safety for pedestrians who currently have to navigate
cars parked on the pavement, and at times being forced to walk into
the carriageway due to inconsiderate parking.
 
·
Introduction of No Waiting at Any Time restrictions (Double Yellow
Lines) on the corner of Sherwood Road/Savernake Road bend opposite
the school entrance, on the bend of Savernake Road/Charnwood Road
and again on the bend of Clough Meadow/Northdown Avenue to aid
visibility.
 
·
Provision of uncontrolled crossing points at the junctions of
Needwood Road / Savernake Road and Northdown Avenue / Westfield
Drive to aid pedestrians.
 
·
Introduction of No Waiting at Any time restrictions (Double Yellow
Lines) at the junction of Needwood Road / Savernake Road, Northdown
Avenue / Westfield Drive and Boundary Close / Clough Meadow to keep
the junctions clear of parked vehicles, protecting intervisibility
between pedestrians and motorists whilst also ensuring vehicles can
negotiate the junctions safely.
 
·
Replacement of the two existing School Warning Signs.
 
·
Introduction of Access Protection Markings (H-bars) for a number of
properties along Springbank Road.
 
(2) The legal
advertisement of the associated traffic regulation orders as
detailed in Appendix A to the report and, subject to the receipt of
no objections within 21 days of the advertisement date, the
