Closure of Deadman's Lane, Blackhall Rocks

Following a period of consultation with the public I have received confirmation this morning that Deadman's Lane, between the picnic area and the tuning point at the steps at Blackhall Rocks, is to be closed to vehicular traffic (see posts dated 28 March 2012, 12 April 2012, 3 May 2012 and 11 June 2012 for further information).

Further improvements to the area will be carried out by the Limestone Landscapes Project and measures are to be put in place to allow for disabled and emergency vehicle access.

I have reproduced below the confirmation as I received it from the LLP:

The statutory objection period closed on the 21 February and I can confirm there has not been an objection to the making of the prohibition of motor vehicles traffic regulation order on Deadman's Lane

We will implement the order on the 15 March to coincide with the closing of the lane for toad migration, as people are used to the road being closed at this time.

Temporary signage can go up at this point to implement the order, however the formal furniture and improvements to the car park and to Deadman’s Point will go through a procurement process shortly and installed at a later date.

Thank you for your assistance to date with this process.

Without your help and comments I am sure that it would not have run as smoothly as it has.
