7.5 tonnes Weight Limit (except for access):

C1264 Tump Lane, Wormelow

        i)         For its full length from its junction with the A49 to its junction with the A466.

Any previous TRO, or part TRO, relating to the above, shall be revoked on implementation of the above said provisions.

Previous Traffic Orders to be revoked in their entirety:

(40 M.P.H. SPEED LIMIT) (NO. 6) ORDER 1988

B4348 WORMELOW (40 M.P.H. SPEED LIMIT) ORDER 2001

The reduction of the existing speed limits on the A466 and C1264 Tump Lane through Wormelow Tump to 30 mph will ensure a reduction in vehicle speeds more in keeping with this village environment.

The implementation of the proposed speed restriction is required for avoiding danger to persons or other traffic using the road or any other road or for preventing the likelihood of any such danger arising and for preserving or improving the amenities of the area through which the road runs.

The introduction of a 7.5t weight limit on the C1264 Tump Lane will ensure that large vehicles will use the A466 route to the A49 rather than using the C1264 Tump Lane as a short cut to and from the A49.

That the proposed speed limit and weight restriction are not implemented and the existing speed limit and movement of heavy goods vehicles is retained.
