Decision:

Subject to the statutory consultation process approve the implementation of a permanent Traffic Regulation Order associated with the Thornaby Town Deal Cycleways scheme. A TRO is required to reduce the speed limit from 40mph to 30mph on a section of A1045 Thornaby Road and amend the Limited Waiting restrictions on Trenchard Avenue. The scheme also includes the provision of seven new Parallel crossings, one Humped Parallel crossing and one Humped Toucan crossing to link the proposed new cycleway. New Toucan crossing facilities will be provided at the existing signalised junctions on Mitchell Avenue/ Baysdale Road. At their junction with Trenchard Avenue, raised tabletops are proposed on Fawcett Road, Frobisher Road, Acorn Close and Sherwood Road at its northern and southern junctions. A raised table top is also proposed on Fullerton Way at its junction with Milbank Lane.

Reasons for the decision:

The proposed measures are necessary for the successful implementation of the Thornaby Town Deal Cycleways Scheme.

Alternative options considered:

The scheme has undergone various design reiterations, and the main alternative would be to not progress with the scheme which would not improve links into the town and provide no improvement for pedestrians or cyclists.

Dispensation:
