Teignmouth Traffic Management Review pdf icon PDF 118 KB

Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/18/83) attached.

Electoral Divisions: Teignmouth

 

Additional documents:

Minutes:

(Ms Atkins, resident, spoke to this item with the consent of the Committee in favour of retaining the resident’s parking zone with modifications).

 

The Committee considered the report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/18/83), together with Appendices I and II (as included within the supplementary agenda). The proposals intended to rationalise on street parking and improve mobility and access within Teignmouth. 

 

A large number of communications had been received from residents, many supporting the retention of residents parking and some requesting an extension. The Town Council had also received a large number of representations detailed in the Town Council’s report (appended to report HIW/18/83). 

 

Subsequent to report HIW/18/83, this Committee was now updated, ie:-  that Teignmouth Town Council had met further on 14 November 2018 and resolved:- to recommend following the presentation of a special motion to review the decision made on the 30th October 2018, that:

 

1          Makes a formal request to Devon County Council, Teignbridge Highways and Traffic Orders Committee, that the charging on the Upper Den Carriageway (winter months) is revoked and to put in place a means to manage the parking of motorhomes on the Upper Den carriageway; and

 

2          Makes a formal request to Devon County Council, Teignbridge Highways and Traffic Orders Committee, to revoke residents parking.”

 

In light of this significant change of position of the Town Council’s view since 30 October 2018, officers advised that report HIW/18/83 be deferred in order that the Town Council’s revised position could be more fully considered and understood.

 

The local County Councillor attended yesterday evening’s Town Council meeting and would welcome further discussions between the County, District and Town Council to look at some amendments to current arrangements.  There  had been some disruptiveness and division of views locally and it would be helpful to have an early solution for the town.

 

Before the next HATOC meeting this Committee hoped that County Council Officers could continue to discuss a way forward with the District and Town Councils to consider the strategic position for Teignmouth. 

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a) that the revised position of Teignmouth Town Council of 14 November 2018 be noted and in light of this, report HIW/18/83 be deferred for further consideration;

 

(b) that Officers discuss a way forward with Teignbridge District and Teignmouth Town Councils to consider the strategic position for Teignmouth, with a further report to the next HATOC meeting.

Annual Local Waiting Restriction Programme pdf icon PDF 14 MB

Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/18/81) attached.

Electoral Divisions: All in Teignbridge

Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/18/81) regarding significant objections and comments to 14 of the proposals following advertisement of this Committee’s Annual Waiting Restriction Review considered at the last meeting. 

 

Proposals approved for advertisement at the last meeting which had not attracted objections would be implemented as advertised.

 

The Committee noted in respect of:-

 

- Fore Street, Bishopsteignton:  in light of representations received a site visit was now proposed and the decision delegated to the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure, Development & Waste in consultation with the Local County Councillor and Chair. 

 (as set out in the report);

 

- Hamilton Drive & Nelson Place, Newton Abbot: the Local County Councillor reported that objections had been received late and that following her own consultations felt that a reduced stretch of double yellow lines on the junction only would best serve the local community, to protect visibility and safety but help retain as much parking as possible.  Officers advised this would be appropriate but that a Modification Notice would be necessary. 

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a) that work on the annual waiting restrictions programme process for 2018/19 be noted;

 

(b) that the recommendations in Section 4 of report HIW/18/81 and the report’s appendices I and II be agreed, subject to:-  a Modification Notice in respect of Hamilton Drive & Nelson Place, Newton Abbot to reduce the extent of the proposed double yellow lines to the junction area and a decision on the matter be delegated to the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure, Development & Waste in consultation with the Local County Councillor and Chair.

A380 South Devon Highway (SDH): 50mph Speed Limit Boundary (minute 60) pdf icon PDF 507 KB

(a) Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/18/82) attached.

 

(b) Members will recall the meeting of 26th July 2018 (minute 60(b) refers) where the Committee RESOLVED:  that the principle of installation of Average Speed Cameras on the South Devon Highway be approved and that the formal approval for funding of the proposal be sought from Cabinet. The Cabinet consequently considered this matter on 12 September 2018 (Minute *224 refers) and RESOLVED:  that the proposals for the installation of Average Speed Cameras on the A380 South Devon Highway, with associated changes in signing and any necessary amendments to the Traffic Regulation Order, be formally approved at an estimated cost of £285,000, with the capital costs to be met from the South Devon Highway capital scheme budget and the revenue costs from the highway revenue budget.

 

Members are asked to note this update.

 

Electoral Divisions: Newton Abbot North, Newton Abbot South, Teignbridge South

 

Minutes:

(a) The Committee considered the report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/18/82).

 

Following the Stage 4 Road Safety Audit it recommended to extend the 50mph speed limit on Besigheim Way further north for traffic approaching Penn Inn due to high driver speeds approaching Penn Inn reducing manoeuvring time and increasing the likelihood of collision.

 

A statement was reported from the local County Councillor (in his absence), supporting the recommendation as a much needed road safety measure.  He also urged consideration on road safety grounds of additional prominent signage to advise motorists earlier to move to the correct lane approaching the roundabout and as the flyover reduced to single lane.   This view was also supported by other Members.

 

(b) Members also noted Cabinet approval (minute *224, 12 September 2018) of Average Speed Cameras along the SDH at an estimated cost of £285,000, to be met from the capital scheme budget and highway revenue budget.

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a) that approval be given to advertise the proposed Traffic Regulation Order;

 

(b) that if no objections are received, the Traffic Regulation Order as advertised, be made, sealed and implemented;

 

(c) that if objections are received, the proposed Traffic Regulation Order be reviewed;

 

d) that Officers note Members’ comments regarding signage approaching Penn Inn.
