Agenda item

RESOLVED that the report notifying the receipt of the following petitions be noted and the recommended actions for responding to them be endorsed:-

1.    Containing the signatures of 239 signatories, in respect of Introduction of traffic/speed controls on Paddock Road from Shaw Lane to Wakefield Road, Staincross, Barnsley.

a.      Having considered the request in detail the Traffic Team does not support the request for a road closure or traffic calming as the road in question does not have a history of personal injury collisions. In addition, traffic calming features would have a direct impact on a number of properties in the area and the views of those residents would need to be sought and considered before making any permanent changes. We will add Paddock Road to the list of locations to be assessed for deployment of our Speed Indicator Devices.

2.    Containing the signatures of 3,797 signatories, in respect of objections to the proposed development of MU2 and MU3 (Carlton, Monk Bretton and Cudworth).

a.      The petition was submitted by residents at the Cabinet meeting held on the 3rd November 2021 and was gathered contemporaneously with the public consultation period in June/July. The petition and matters raised within were considered within the report to Full Council on the 25th November 2021 and as such no further actions are recommended.
