This proposal was included within the 2020/25 Capital Programme and is designed to provide improved traffic management and road safety in the Lyndale Avenue area of Eastham.


On the 17th February 2020, Cabinet considered an allocation of £150,000 for a parking and safety improvement scheme in the Lyndale Avenue area of Eastham.

The proposed scheme forms part of the 2020/25 Capital Programme subsequently agreed by Council at its meeting of 2nd March 2020 [Item 122 refers].

RESOLVED - That

(1) comments and objection received and the Officers’ responses be noted; and
(2) the proposal as shown on attached drawing no. DC0606100 be approved for implementation.

As part of the design process Officers investigated alternative measures including the possibility of providing a parking layby outside the Lyndale School site and only providing a 20mph zone on Lyndale Avenue from Bridle Road to Glenburn Avenue.

The above option was considered by the officers but it was decided that the layby would be too expensive due to the diversions of the underground utilities in the vicinity. Additionally it was decided that a 20mph speed limit be introduced not only on the remaining length of Lyndale Avenue but also the surrounding area bounded by, but excluding, Bridle Road, Eastham Rake, Plymyard Avenue and Heygarth Road.
