Requesting an urgent review of the Carholme Community Travel Zone in Lincoln
County Councillor Neil Murray and residents of Carholme Ward in Lincoln request that Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) Highways department make an urgent, comprehensive review of the Carholme Community Travel Zone, to improve safe walking and cycling, improve parking and road safety for the community. The review should be completed by June 2025 followed by a swift implementation of review recommendations.
Why is this important?
There are numerous travel challenges in Carholme Ward, which was last reviewed by LCC Highways two decades ago. There are issues with safe walking and cycling, especially for children going to/from school on foot or by bike. The 20mph area has increasing traffic levels, with many vehicles using the area as a cut-through between Yarborough Road and Carholme Road, regularly ignoring existing one-way streets. Parking is problematic for residents and visitors to the area. The area could benefit from a review of active travel opportunities and an assessment of how road markings could be improved to increase safety.
How it will be delivered
Carholme County Councillor Neil Murray will present this petition to Lincolnshire County Council at the next full council meeting on 21st February 2025.
