Motion by Councillor Lang - Cammo Road trial closure

Meeting: 28/01/2021 - Transport and Environment Committee (Item 9)

Motion by Councillor Lang - Cammo Road trial closure

Motion by Councillor Lang - Cammo Road trial closure

 

“1)      Committee notes:

 

A.    the written deputation signed by 59 people from 30 properties on Cammo Road, Turnhouse Farm Road, Lennymuir, and Nether Lennie, calling for the Council to proceed with a trial closure of Cammo Road to through traffic as a result of safety concerns over the volume and speed of commuting and HGV traffic.

 

B.    the counter written deputation signed by 27 residents from 13 properties at Lennymuir, opposing any such closure because of concerns over adequate access to their homes.

 

C.   that north west locality transport officers agreed in 2018 to the principle of progressing a trial through-road closure of Cammo Road in order to properly assess impact before considering any longer-term measures.

 

D.   that the proposed through-road closure point still ensured all properties could be accessed, with alternative road access available via Craigs Road and/or Turnhouse Road.

 

2)       Committee recognises the long standing concerns of a majority of local residents and the risk that current problems could be worsened by new housing developments; therefore calls on officers to engage with ward councillors and to bring forward a report in one cycle, setting out the options for running a trial through-road closure of Cammo Road during 2021.

 

3)       Committee agrees that any such trial closure should preserve access to the Cammo Estate car park and ensure adequate access for emergency vehicles.”
