Schemes in Otford and Eynsford were approved at last night’s Sevenoaks Joint Transportation Board.
For Otford, 20mph schemes were approved for High Street, Pilgrims Way East (as far as the junction with Beechy Leas Road). Row Dow (257 metres up from the junction with PWE), Sevenoaks Road (to 20 metres south of the roundabout) and Station Road (as far as Colets Orchard). As local County Councillor, I spoke in favour of approval, as did District and Parish Councillor Irene Roy, who has led the development of the wider Otford Traffic Management schemes. I am supporting the overall plans with £5,000 from my Combined Member Grant. The scheme was approved unanimously.
The Eynsford scheme is for no loading/ unloading restrictions in parts of Riverside to supplement the double yellow lines and enhance enforcement there (on the basis that vehicles can be moved pretty quickly before Sevenoaks DC enforcement officers can gather evidence and issue a penalty notice). The scheme will be taken forward by Sevenoaks District Council and was discussed with and supported by the Parish Council. I am contributing £737 from my Grant. This scheme did not encounter any objections during consultation and was approved.
