Meeting: 05/04/2019 - South Hams Highways and Traffic Orders Committee (Item 72)

Item under SO23(2) Traffic Management of Large Vehicles at A385 Station Road (Builders' Merchants), Totnes

In accordance with Standing Order 23(2) Councillor Hodgson has requested that the Committee consider this matter.

 

Minutes:

The Committee noted that, in accordance with Standing Order 23, Councillor Hodgson had asked that the Committee consider the ongoing traffic congestion and access problems resulting from deliveries by very large vehicles to the builders’ merchants.

 

Members considered that this was a difficult location for this type of organisation, which had grown over time since planning permissions and conditions were granted some years ago.   

 

The local County Councillor also asked whether any possible alternative access around the back of the site could be explored.

 

It was MOVED by Councillor Hawkins, SECONDED by Councillor Hodgson, and

 

RESOLVED:  that Officers investigate and hold discussions with the organisation concerned if appropriate to see if deliveries and traffic using the site could be better managed.
