Sheffield City Council, along with the South Yorkshire Integrated Transport Authority (who
have responded separately to this Consultation) would like to better understand what
alternative time periods have been considered / modelled and why they were discounted.
Furthermore, Sheffield City Council would like to know how the Highways Agency intend to
robustly monitor the scheme and its impacts and whether the proposed operational time
periods (7 days a week / 0700 – 1900) will be reviewed and possibly amended as a result.
For the purposes of this consultation, it should be assumed that the speed limit will need to be in place
for several years. However, we are not able to give an indication in this document of how many years
the speed limit will need to be retained. Nevertheless, it is important to stress that the proposed speed
limit will be removed as soon as the background air quality improves sufficiently to enable this.
We would be interested in your views about whether having the proposed speed limit in place for
different durations would have differing impacts on you or your organisation.

Metropolitan Borough Council were not directly consulted and further details are
required about the suggested measures to promote the A1(M) and M18 alternative
route.
• There is also an unresolved issue of ‘perception’ which is likely to affect the
attractiveness and competitiveness of the Sheffield City Region in our desire to seek
much needed inward investment. Such investment may be deterred if it is perceived
that the sub-region requires such onerous measures to deal with existing or likely
future problems whereas others do not (in part at least through previous investment in
national infrastructure).
Note on disclosure of information
Information provided in response to this consultation, including personal information, may be subject to
publication or disclosure in accordance with the access to information regimes (these are primarily the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA), the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) and the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004).
If you want any information that you provide to be treated as confidential, please be aware that, under the
FOIA, there is a statutory Code of Practice with which public authorities must comply and which deals,
amongst other things, with obligations of confidence.
In view of this, it would be helpful if you could explain to us why you regard the information you have provided
as confidential. If we receive a request for disclosure of the information we will take full account of your
explanation, but we cannot give an assurance that confidentiality can be maintained in all circumstances. An
automatic confidentiality disclaimer generated by your IT system will not, of itself, be regarded as binding on
the Highways Agency.
The Highways Agency will process your personal data in accordance with the DPA and in the majority of
circumstances this will mean that your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
