Report by Executive Director with Responsibility for Roads and Infrastructure Services

The Committee considered a report providing information around two proposed Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) relating to Luss Village and the U228 Old A82.

Decision

The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Committee agreed:

Speed Limit TRO

1. that the Order should be made as drafted;
2. that physical traffic management measures should be installed to support the proposed speed limits in-line with the Council’s Road Speed Limit Policy Framework;
3. that officers should carry out pre and post implementation speed surveys and review with respect to the Council’s Road Speed Limit Policy Framework;

Traffic Management TRO

4. to reduce the proposed permit cost from £98 to £45 per annum;
5. to retain the restriction on the proposed number of permits with a view to amending this in the future depending on post-implementation use with respect to available road space (capacity);
6. to note that there is sufficient provision of off-street parking, that the inclusion of visitor parking within the permit scheme risks over-subscription of parking availability within the core village roads, and that off-street parking permits are available for the following fees:

a.         3 months - £139

b.         6 months - £258

c.         9 months - £371

d.         12 months - £489;

7. to note that equipment required by trades can be loaded and unloaded at the relevant property but that the vehicles should then park within the off-street car parks and that where works are longer term or more complex, a temporary relaxation of restrictions can be applied for;
8. to note that those with Blue Badges can park within the village core and that those with reduced mobility but without a Blue Badge can be dropped off or collected by a vehicle but otherwise to note the availability of off-street parking; and
9. to refer the objection to the Prohibition of Driving to an Independent Reporter.
