SUTTON under Whitestonecliffe Parish Council’s Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) request for Sutton Bank was sent out in March to our local MPs, county and district councillors, North Yorkshire Police, the Police and Crime Commissioner, the Secretary of State for Transport and the county council highways department.
The responsibility of processing our TRO lies with the council’s highways department.
On June 23, parish council representatives and a local haulier met with the department to discuss our application. Highways investigations and consultation with the police have concluded that they are not going to progress our TRO request, for reasons that are yet to be formally sent to us. The parish council is clearly very disappointed that this decision was taken without the opportunity for the public and/or other bodies to make representations. We await the full details but DO NOT accept that this is the end of our campaign.
We would like your assistance to keep our campaign alive by encouraging others to sign our on-line petition at Petitions24.com, and if you see any HGV blockages on Sutton Bank please inform the Police by dialling 101.
Cllr John Sharp, Sutton under Whitestonecliffe Parish Council.
