The Parish Council has been made aware of the following update on Spark Mill Lane - public right of way Flemingate to Peters Way - __________________________________
As you know, East Riding of Yorkshire Council is proposing several improvements to a section of Spark Mill Lane public right of way between Flemingate and Peters Way (points A-B on the plan).
Please find revised plan attached and detailed description below of works being carried out by ERYC.
Residents and businesses in the area will shortly receive a postcard-style consultation letter on the proposals summarised below to give them opportunity to see the proposals in full and provide their support or comments.
It is anticipated that the works would be carried out later this year. We are currently awaiting further detail from adjacent developers in order to co-ordinate our works and theirs. As part of developers’ works, a new pipe connection is being installed which will cross Spark Mill Lane. Therefore, we need to wait until this pipe crossing is installed before we commence our surfacing works on the public right of way.
Residents and businesses residing closest to the scheme would receive a further letter nearer the time with details of the start date of our resurfacing works, duration and traffic management anticipated.
The proposals are designed to improve connectivity between Flemingate and Peters Way along Spark Mill Lane for use by both pedestrians and cyclists, following requests from Councillors and residents.
The proposed works include:
• Tarmacking the surface of the existing stoned section between Beverley Parklands and Peters Way;
• Resurfacing the section of tarmac lane between Flemingate and Beverley Parklands;
• Adding cycle rights to the public right of way between points A-B.
• Add removable bollards in 3 locations as shown on the revised plan;
• Add 2 bins along the route (exact locations to be determined).
• Footway lighting between points A-B (recently installed to utilise developer funding).
• The Council would look to adopt section A-B to enable the Council to take on the future maintenance of the proposed surfacing and other street furniture.
