Further traffic calming planned to tackle anti-social behaviour at Orford

HIGHWAY planners in Warrington are proposing further traffic calming measures at Orford to tackle anti-social behaviour.

Warrington Borough Council highway planners say, that For many years, residents have expressed concerns about the need for traffic calming measures in Hallfields Road. In February of 2023, three humps were installed.
Further assessment has identified some anti-social behaviour that requires the present features needing support from additional units in between to try and further reduce traffic speeds.
With the aforementioned in mind, it is proposed to provide traffic calming features by way of round topped humps as identified in the schedule below.

Warrington Borough Council has given notice it intends, as part of its traffic calming proposals, to install traffic calming features, to regulate the speed of traffic under Section 90A to the Highways Act 1980, with the effects detailed in the Schedule to this notice.
Deposited documents may be viewed on-line at https://www.warrington.gov.uk/permanent-traffic-regulation-orders or Contact Warrington, 1 Time Square, Warrington, WA1 2NT between 9am & 5pm, Monday to Friday.
All representations both in support or objecting to the proposals must be in writing either by post or delivered by hand to Legal Services, East Annexe, Town Hall, Sankey Street, Warrington, WA1 1UH or emailed with full contact details to [email protected] by 10th April 2025 and all objections must specify the grounds on which they are made.
