Ms Isabel Haley will be attending to ask a question about reducing the current speed limit for the single carriageway section of the A6 that runs from south of High Hesket to south of Low Hesket.

Mrs Isabel Haley attended the meeting to ask a question about reducing the current speed limit for the single carriageway section of the A6 that runs from south of High Hesket to south of Low Hesket.

Before reading her submission, she thanked the Chair as he had visited the location and met. Mrs Haley and her husband had worked for the police, moved to the area six months ago and, after talking to other residents about vehicle near misses and witnessing the A6 being used as ‘a racetrack’, she was attending the meeting to speak on behalf of the community. She read the following submission:

Purpose: Request for reduction in speed limit

I am writing to request a reduction of the current speed limit for the single carriageway section of the A6 that runs from south of High Hesket to south of Low Hesket. In practical terms, it would mean an extension of the 40mph speed limit zone (which currently ends on the southern boundary of Low Hesket) to include the length of road detailed at the start of the letter. This would be an additional distance of just over 2 kilometres.

In raising this issue, I am trying to prompt action before there are fatalities.

My request is based on a number of significant risk factors which are detailed below:

Risk 1: Court Thorn Surgery (blind summit)

This busy surgery is located beside the south bound lane of the A6, a short distance south of Low Hesket. The southbound approach has a blind summit immediately before the surgery. In practice, this means that vehicles approaching the surgery car park exit have only a few seconds to react to a vehicle pulling out of the premises. Many of the cars on the A6 are travelling at 60mph or faster. This creates a very dangerous situation, particularly for patients and staff leaving the surgery. In a car, the time from sighting the surgery to its exit is less than 6 seconds. Mechanical stopping distances can vary from car to car. However, once you add in thinking time, many cars travelling at 60mph (or more as often happens) would not stop in time to avoid a collision if a car was entering or crossing the lane on the A6.

I have been in contact with the Surgery (Rachael Somerville) and they fully support this request. They have themselves, along with their Patient Participation Group, applied for similar in 2013 and 2014. It was acknowledged by the Traffic Management Team Leader, Cumbria Council that the stretch of the A6 from Scalesceugh Hall to Plumpton is one of the worst stretches for accidents in Cumbria and this section was to be investigated further as part of an Engineering Safety Study to avoid accidents. Despite further incidents, no change has occurred.  I have spoken to other residents who have advised that the surgery has grown in size and there are more patients as it covers a bigger area.

To receive a presentation about Share A Smile.

Members received a presentation from Ms Lynsey Eland, from the Share a Smile Project and had the opportunity to ask questions of the young people involved in the project.

Mr Dew welcomed Ms Eland and advised that the project had been established with the support of the Local Committee’s Children and Young People Working Group who wanted to focus on young people’s mental health. Consequently, Carlisle and Eden Mind had been commissioned to undertake the project which had ended at the end of the school year in 2019. Seven young people involved in the project attended the meeting to advise on their activity during the project.

Ms Eland had worked with young people from Appleby, Ullswater and Kirkby Stephen schools and Queen Elizabeth Grammar School. The project had looked at ways to raise the awareness of good mental health and reduce the stigma of mental health issues.

The presentation covered:

·         Quotes from young people who had been involved in the project

·         Successes so far

·         The experiences of the team

·         The aims of the project

·         Sharing knowledge in primary schools

·         Primary school feedback

·         Random Act of Kindness week

·         Community feedback

·         Feedback from the team

·         Thanks to everyone involved

·         Responses to questions about the project in order to identify lessons learned and develop it further

Ms Eland commented on the attributes and commitment of the young people involved in the project and highlighted the regular positive messages put out on social media platforms. Ms Eland talked about how each school had different resources and different ideas on what to spend their funding on and commented on the legacy budget.

Members asked the young people a number of questions including what they thought the outcomes of the project were, how their work could be built upon in future and commented on their enthusiasm and commitment, their innovative ideas and whether the young people had seen a shift in culture so young people understood that good mental health was part of their general wellbeing.

The young people talked about their interactive work and resources used with primary school children and the legacy of the work they had undertaken with them, their visibility within their school environment so other young people could talk to them about mental health issues and how important it was to listen as well as talk. It was reported that mental health was now being talked about more openly and at a younger age and a contributing factor to this was the increased social media profile encouraging young people to be caring. The Young people commented on how much they enjoyed the project and on their positive working relationship with Ms Eland. An explanation was provided on the Instagram campaign pushing out positive mental health messages to young people in the schools and on the young people’s hopes to train all teachers on mental health issues.

The Chair thanked everyone involved in the project and commented on the excellent work that had been taken so far. He asked how the rest  ...  view the full minutes text for item 49.

To receive a presentation from Cumbria’s Bicycle Mayor.

Mr Richard Ingham, the Elected Bicycle Mayor for Cumbria, gave a presentation on the role of cycling in helping Eden achieve its vision. Mr Ingham outlined the history behind his appointment as Cumbria’s Elected Bicycle Mayor and talked about the importance of health and wellbeing, how the Elected Bicycle Mayor was a global initiative, the promotion of cycling as a mode of transport to be a catalyst for change, his support from all six MPs in Cumbria for the scheme, the election process and his remit.

The presentation covered the following:

·         Vision (Council Plan)

·         We need to change the way we travel in the UK

·         NHS: Obesity statistics 2017

·         CO2 Footprint Transport Modes

·         Healthy Transport = Healthy Lives

·         UK National Travel Survey 2017

·         Emissions data for Oxford

·         Manchester Made to Move report

·         Date relating to switching from a car to bike

·         A better way to travel – rush hour in Amsterdam: 55% by bike

·         Eden: cycling opportunities

·         Eden: barriers to cycling

·         Penrith: existing promoted cycle routes

·         Penrith: some potential urban cycle ways

·         Maximising potential information, signage, providing lots of cycle parking and providing information on-line

Following the presentation members made a number of observations and asked questions.

A member considered that the information presented would help inform the Penrith Parking and Movement Study, however, Penrith’s road network, weather conditions and topography or people’s fitness could hinder people from using bicycles. She considered that shared use of space for cyclists and pedestrians didn’t always work for both groups and that budget constraints could impact on the development of cycle ways. Mr Ingham acknowledged the Council’s budget constraints and was not a personal advocate of shared use of space, but talked about where cycle routes were successful.

The Chair advised that workshop sessions held during the Penrith Parking and Movement Study would concentrate on the detail Mr Ingham was referring to in his presentation.

A member welcomed the election of the Bicycle Mayor and suggested Mr Ingham contact Action with Communities in Cumbria (ACT). He advised that working with other organisations to reduce cars on the road was a way forward, such as the National Trust working on car free villages. Another member considered that rather than impose routes in existing areas, new routes be integrated into new developments. In agreeing with this, Mr Ingham referred to land use planning policies in Europe which made it harder to use cars on some routes. A member expressed her concern at this as she considered this would prejudice older people given that Cumbria had a super-aging population and that older people may struggle to carry heavy shopping on bicycles. She advised on the difficulty of providing cycling routes in the Penrith area and that a review on the matter had already taken place.

The Lead Officer - Infrastructure Planning advised that as part of the Transport Improvements Study, sustainable transport schemes had been identified and it was important that any further identification of schemes took these into account.

RESOLVED that, the presentation  ...  view the full minutes text for item 50.

To receive a presentation from the Lead Officer - Infrastructure Planning.

The Lead Officer - Infrastructure Planning gave a presentation on the Penrith Parking and Movement Study which covered the following:

·         Objectives

·         Governance

·         Communication and Engagement

·         Scope and programme

Members asked a number of questions and commented on the work being undertaken in the study. The Chair invited Eden District Council members in the public gallery to join the Committee and take part in this item. Questions were asked on whether the study would be phased and about the spend on the project’s implementation.

The Lead Officer - Infrastructure Planning talked about the jointly funded Study and referred members to the stages in the Study and Programme. She advised that stakeholders would be identified to deliver the projects and that joint working would likely take place, adding that stakeholder engagement would be key to the preparation of the study. She highlighted that it was important to note that currently no funding was in place to deliver any improvements which may be identified. She reported that the Study was at an early stage and that each stakeholder had individual views on issues. Further views would be obtained at workshops in early 2020. She considered that by identifying and developing improvements, it would provide partners with the necessary evidence to seek funding when it became available.A project board had been established to provide strategic direction and leadership for the project.

A member asked that careful consideration be given to the messages communicated to the public. Members welcomed that there would be joint working with other stakeholders and that there was agreement between the three tiers of Councils which would help to progress the projects. The difficult conversations to be held on identifying priorities was acknowledged.

RESOLVED that, the presentation be circulated to members.

The Area Manager advised that proposals were being considered to ensure that funding was allocated effectively.

Following a query about how the money would be spent in the Universal Services budget, the Area Manager advised that a report on this matter would be brought to a future meeting of the Committee. A member asked that in addition to members being informed of the projects identified for funding, they also be advised when funds were released so they were kept fully informed. The Area Manager undertook to do this. The Chair of the Children and Young People’s Working Group confirmed that funding would be allocated.

In referring to the Highways’ winter service review, a member reported on the issues on the A66 which crossed Stainmore when it was closed due to bad weather as motorists used different routes and got stuck on minor roads. He would pursue a resolution with Highways officers on this matter.

The recommendations were moved en bloc by the Chair and agreed by assent of the Committee.

This report advises members of a number of proposed changes to the Eden traffic regulation order

A report was considered from the Acting Executive Director – Economy and Infrastructure regarding the Eden Traffic Regulation Order – consolidation of and changes to existing restriction and introduction of proposed new restrictions. Requests for the proposed changes had come from a variety of sources including Member, Parish, Police, and resident suggestions and ongoing reviews of existing restrictions by highways officers. The report sought approval from members to proceed to statutory advertisement and consultation and then to bring the Order, which would consolidate the provisions of The County of Cumbria (Various Roads, District of Eden) (Consolidation and Provision of Traffic Regulations) Order 2018, (as varied), together with the proposed changes referred to in the Recommendations of the report into operation should there be no unresolved objections.

Mr Connell advised that he had spoken to the Highways Network Manager. He drew members’ attention to the proposal asking members to not to proceed to statutory consultation at C3004 and C3063 at Long Marton. He advised that this was not a controversial proposal and recommended that this was agreed by the Committee. It was noted that the ‘no waiting at any time’ restriction could be amended in response to local complaints.

In talking about the proposal asking members to not to proceed to statutory consultation for a one way traffic restriction at Pembroke Street, Appleby in Westmorland, Mr Connell advised that he did not agree with the proposal as there had only been one representation and all feedback he had received been positive and therefore recommended that the Committee agree to proceed to statutory consultation and advertisement of the Order. It was moved by Mr Connell and seconded by Mr Dew that the proposal to introduce a One Way Traffic Restriction on part of the U3355 and the entirety of the U3349, Pembroke Street at Pembroke Street, Appleby–in-Morland proceed to statutory consultation and advertisement of the proposals. This was agreed by assent of the Committee.

In light of the decision of the Committee relating to Pembroke Street, Appleby in Morland, it was highlighted by a member that the proposal at South Terrace, Tebay may change when it was considered again by the Committee at a future meeting.

The Chair moved the remaining recommendations en bloc (taking into account the earlier vote on Pembroke Street, Appleby in Morland), which were agreed by assent of the Committee.

RESOLVED that,

The Local Committee agree to proceed to statutory consultation and advertisement of an order  to consolidate the provisions of The County of Cumbria (Various Roads, District of Eden) (Consolidation and Provision of Traffic Regulations) Order 2018 (as  varied),  together with the proposals detailed at paragraphs 3.2 to 3.9 inclusive and 3.13 of the report into one concise order (“the Order”).

·         Highways Delivery Plan

·         The Highways’ customer

·         Working together

A member asked that in addition to receiving information about schemes in their own division, members were informed of schemes in adjoining divisions in order to ascertain if there would be any impact on their division. He highlighted that Parish Councils were keen on Working Together and were looking for progress on devolved budgets. He welcomed progress made with electric car charging points but asked for reasonably priced public transport.

In response to a member asking what difference the new Strategy would make, the Senior Manager - Asset Infrastructure and Transport commented on the improvements to customer care and reputational change. He advocated the application of the best measures available to the highways asset at the right time,  in order to keep the asset in the best condition possible.
