Amendments to the Bowes Primary Area Quieter Neighbourhood
Recommendations for amendments to the Bowes Primary Area Quieter Neighbourhood have been published in a report that can be found here. The recommendations are included in a report that addresses two existing permanent Quieter Neighbourhoods. The recommendations are that the Council:
Makes necessary Traffic Management Order (TMO) to convert the existing modal filter with a bollard to a camera enforced modal filter by introducing a ‘no motor vehicles’ restriction at Maidstone Road
Carries out monitoring on selected roads outside of the Bowes QN area
Continues with small scale and minor improvements, which were identified during the trial period in response to feedback received and monitoring data, such as new advanced warning signage.
The report also presents the findings from the engagement survey we conducted earlier this year about access to the area. Residents were invited to share their views on whether they had a preference on accessing the area from the south, or from the north as per current arrangements. After having considered a number of factors, the Council has made the recommendation not to make further changes to the layout of the Quieter Neighbourhood. Please refer to the published report for details about the recommendation.
This report, and each of the recommendations, is under consideration by the Leader of the Council with a decision anticipated shortly.
