We asked if the public were in acceptance of a proposal to make a Traffic Regulation Order to prohibit traffic driving from Willowglen Road into Assaye Place, Stornoway. Access would remain for residential traffic, service vehicles and emergency services. The aim of the prohibition was to prevent Assaye Place being used as a through road.
Comments were received from one objector.
These related to concerns the impact of introducing the Order would have on the surrounding streets. Information can be accessed from the attached report.
A Traffic Regulation Order was made and advertised allowing enforcement by Police Scotland.
The Order followed an Experimental Order where traffic was monitored. Following this an assessment was made on the actual impact of the new Order on traffic flows. A traffic calming feature was also introduced on Willowglen Rd.
The area will also be included in a proposed 20mph speed limit to be introduced in Stornoway.

Permanent Traffic Regulation Orders have a consultation period to allow for objections to be submitted
Following the consultation period the Order will be made allowing for enforcement. The road already has the appropriate signage installed following an Experimental Order. Objections submitted could delay or stop this process.
