1. Summary

1.1 This report covers the main programmes of traffic management work completed and in progress in the Hart area in 2004/05. Included are the revenue funded Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) and signing and lining schemes.

2. Background

2.1 The Agency Agreement for Traffic Management is still being negotiated with Hart District Council and the District Council will then be the first point of contact for traffic management issues. Regular liaison between the County Council and District Council has been established and will be maintained on a regular basis as programmes develop and are taken forward.

3. Traffic Regulation Orders and Signing and Lining Schemes

3.1 Traffic management issues are raised in a number of ways, including via local District or County Members or the public, or occasionally by the Police or other emergency services. These issues are prioritised and investigated, which may result in schemes being proposed for inclusion in the programme. The current list of schemes in the Hart area, separated into waiting restrictions, speed restrictions and traffic management schemes undertaken or to be completed in the 2004/05 programme and funded by the revenue programme, is shown in Appendix 1.

3.2 The programmes constantly evolve, with new schemes that may arise as a high priority being added to the list as necessary. At the same time, listed schemes may be modified or deleted as consultations progress or where the TRO advertising procedure gives rise to objections.

4. Parish Partnership Programme

4.1 The Parish Partnership programme within the Hart area for 2004/05 is given in Appendix 2.

Recommendation
