SPEED SIGN

The Council has recently undertaken a survey of the effectiveness of the Speed Sign that has been in place near the Railway Bridge.  The response has indicated that it has been effective in reducing traffic speeds, and there were suggestions about extending their use.  At the moment this would be difficult due to:

1. Consent is needed from East Riding of Yorkshire Highways to install the Signs and they require that they are rotated regularly to prevent motorists getting used to them.

2.  The sign was expensive and sharing costs made it affordable (whilst a grant was secured from the Police and Crime Commissioner, the Council needed to find 50% of the cost).

The Council has been exploring whether any other measures could be introduced to reduce traffic speeds.  One simple measure is for residents set an example.  

If residents have any further comments regarding the Sign please contact the Clerk on clerk@goodmanham-pc.gov.uk, or speak to any of the Councillors.              

Hatchings

Following discussions with the Parish Council, ERYC have put hatchings on a stretch of Main Street opposite the Church Wall. This aims to discourage parking in this area so that delivery and farm vehicles can pass through the village without mounting the verge next to the Church wall (which was in danger of being undermined).

Goodmanham Car Park

The Parish Council have reserved 6 spaces in the Car Park for adjacent residents who are unable to have any off-street parking.  Signs have been put up to identify these spaces and passes issued to the eligible households.  The space markings in the Car Park have resulted in it being used more efficiently meaning that the spaces available for other residents and visitors remains similar.

Weight Limit

Since 28th March 2013 there has been a 7.5T weight limit zone in Market Weighton and Goodmanham, but East Riding Council approved an exempt through route for local farming businesses allowing HGVs to travel through the zone lawfully when making deliveries to and collections from Rectory Farm, Goodmanham Grange, Goodmanham Wold, Allotment Farm, Southwold Farm, Goodmanham Dale, Goodmanham Lodge, Enthorpe House and Wallis Grange. The exempt route is Londesborough Road in Market Weighton from its junction with Londesborough Roundabout to its junction with Goodmanham Road, the entire length of Goodmanham Road in Market Weighton and Goodmanham, and the entire length of Main Street in Goodmanham.
