Issue - meetings

This item will be considered at Policy and Resources Committee on 19 March 2020.  The report and recommendations will follow.

“In view of the continuing calls for west east access to the A64 from York Rd, we call on Ryedale District Council to work with North Yorkshire County Council and the Highways Agency to explore the possibility of a roundabout at the Huttons Ambo junction on the A64 to help alleviate the traffic congestion levels in Malton and Norton.

The roundabout would allow access to the A64 east from York Road, reducing the level of traffic, including HGVs, that have to pass through Malton and Norton to access the A64 and create east/west access at both ends of the Malton bypass.

Furthermore, with the concern widely expressed for the safety of children and parents accessing Malton County Primary School and St Mary’s RC School on Highfield Lane, Malton, we call on Ryedale District Council to support a HGV ban between the Peasey Hill Road junction and Hawthorn Avenue.

We request that Officers be asked to enter into negotiations with North Yorkshire County Council to follow the process required to introduce this ban.”
