MARKETPLACE, SOUTHWELL - PROPOSED ZEBRA CROSSING ADVERT

Overview

Via East Midlands Ltd, is working on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council to deliver highway services in Nottinghamshire.  The County Council has received a request for the installation of a pedestrian crossing to assist people accessing the shops and other local amenities located on Market Place and King Street, Southwell. The proposed crossing would aim to improve accessibility and enhance pedestrian safety.

Following these concerns, a feasibility survey was undertaken on Market Place to identify the most appropriate location for a formal zebra crossing. The survey concluded that the preferred location is between A612 Church Street and Bishop’s Drive, Southwell.

The crossing will include a controlled area, identified by the introduction of zig-zag road markings, within which stopping, parking and loading would be prohibited at all times.

In accordance with Section 23 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, I hereby enclose for your information the statutory public notice setting out Nottinghamshire County Council’s intention to introduce the zebra crossing on Market Place, Southwell.

The public notice will be published in the Newark Advertiser and notices will be fixed on site. A plan showing the extents of the ‘No Stopping or No Loading At Any Time’ restrictions (Zig-Zag lines) is attached (TP2550588-VIA-HGN-MP-DR-CH-00001) along with a copy of the site notice.
